Why? I'm not ashamed of being an IWW member. I'll be damned if I'll hide what I stand for. Come dungeons dark or gallows grim. As for being unemployable because of your politics, the answer isn't to cringe before the rich man's frown Chuck.
It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To, cringe before the rich man's frown
And haul the sacred emblem down.
Anyhow, there's nothing in the IWW constitution proscribing a member from revealing the identities of other IWW members. Its probably just an urban myth.
