## Focus
|
|
|
|
The ICL focuses primarily on the exchange of knowledge between its
|
|
member unions concerning new organizing tactics and
|
|
strategies.<sup>\[2\]</sup> For instance the organizing of "wildcat
|
|
strikes, road blockades and other imaginative acts of resistance".
|
|
Specifically the experience of the prison strike organized by the
|
|
Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC) of the IWW is
|
|
mentioned. At this point the ICL is also looking to expand its
|
|
membership base to include the Middle East, Central- and South America
|
|
and North Africa. |
