The Trade Union Educational League was founded in late 1920. It was supported by the Communist Party USA and a majority of members were also members of the Communist Party USA. Its goal was to build a union and workers’ movement. This pamphlet emphasizes the importance of organizing as many workers as possible for the survival and growth of the workers’ movement.

“The organization of the unorganized is a life and death question for the labor movement. To bring the millions into the unions is necessary not only for the protection of the of the un- organized workers, and to further class ends in general, but also to safeguard the life of the existing organizations.”
