  • William Dudley Haywood (February 4, 1869 – May 18, 1928), better known as Big Bill Haywood, was a prominent figure in the American labor movement. Haywood was a leader of the Western Federation of Miners (WFM), a founding member and leader of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and a member of the Executive Committee of the Socialist Party of America. During the first two decades of the 20th century, he was involved in several important labor battles, including the Colorado Labor Wars, the Lawrence textile strike, and other textile strikes in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Haywood was an advocate of industrial unionism, a labor philosophy that favors organizing all workers in an industry under one union, regardless of the specific trade or skill level; this was in contrast to the craft unions that were prevalent at the time, such as the AFL. His belief that workers of all ethnicities should be united also clashed with many unions. His strong preference for direct action over political tactics alienated him from the Socialist Party, and contributed to his dismissal in 1912. Never one to shy from violent conflicts, Haywood was frequently the target of prosecutors. His trial for the murder of Frank Steunenberg in 1907 (of which he was acquitted) drew national attention; in 1918, he was one of 101 IWW members convicted of violating the Espionage Act of 1917. While out of prison during an appeal of his conviction, Haywood fled to Russia, where he spent the remaining years of his life.

Cuando tenía nueve años se hirió en el ojo derecho accidentalmente, mientras grababa en madera. Nunca se molestó en adquirir una prótesis, de hecho en todos sus retratos aparece vuelto hacia la izquierda para ocultar su mutilación. Ese mismo año empezó a trabajar en las minas, siendo así que nunca llegó a completar ningún tipo de educación formal. Después de algunos intentos de hacerse vaquero o pionero, desistió y volvío a la mina. Su interés surgió entonces, a raíz de acontecimientos sonados como la supresión de los Molly Maguires, el motín de Haymarket en 1886 y la Huelga Pullman en 1894.

  • Bill Haywood è stato una figura prominente del sindacalismo degli Stati Uniti, dirigente della Western Federation of Miners, membro fondatore e dirigente dell'Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) e membro del comitato esecutivo del Partito Socialista d'America. Iscrittosi alla Western Federation of Miners nel 1896 ne divenne segretario nel 1902. Nel 1905, a Chicago, aprì i lavori del primo congresso dell'unione sindacale IWW. Nel 1907 venne montato contro Haywood un processo per l'omicidio dell'ex governatore dell'Idaho, Frank Steunenberg, servendosi di false prove e testimonianze, ma Haywood venne scagionato. Nel 1908 Haywood partecipò alla campagna elettorale di Eugene Debs, candidato del Partito Socialista, mentre nel 1910 fu delegato al congresso della Seconda Internazionale. Nel gennaio 1912 a Lawrence, Massachussets, oltre 20.000 lavoratori del settore tessile iniziarono lo sciopero conosciuto come "pane e rose". Due dirigenti locali dell'IWW vennero accusati dell'omicidio di una lavoratrice immigrata, Anna LoPizzo, nonostante diciannove testimoni avesserero visto sparare un poliziotto. Haywood collaborò all'organizzazione delle manifestazioni, che si protrassero fino al marzo 1912. Lo scoppio della Prima guerra mondiale offrì al governo statunitense l'opportunità di agire contro Haywood e il sindacato IWW: secondo la legge federale del 1917 chiamata Espionage Act 165 membri dell'IWW furono accusati di "cospirazione" e "incoraggiamento alla diserzione". Nell'aprile 1918 iniziò il processo a Haywood ed altri 100 sindacalisti, che furono tutti giudicati colpevoli. La sentenza per Haywood e quattordici altri fu di 20 anni di prigione. Nel 1921, mentre era libero su cauzione in attesa del processo di appello, Haywood fuggì in Unione Sovietica. Qui fu consulente sindacale di Lenin fino al 1923 e morì nel 1928. Le sue ceneri furono sepolte per metà nel muro del Cremlino e per metà a Chicago, vicino al monumento ai martiri di Haymarket.
