The BWC was also used to coordinate Revolutionary Union Movement and Black Workers caucuses.
The mission of the BWC: Our objective: workers' control of their place of work, the factories, fields, offices, transportation services, and communications facilities, so that the exploitation of labor will cease and no person or corporation will get rich off the labor of another person.
[1]It is estimated that the BWC brought in between 300-400 people at its first national conference held on Labor Day weekend in Gary Indiana, September 5, 1971.
While the BWC was getting a firm foundation, the League of Revolutionary Black Workers began to split apart.
The culmination of this split was the BWC being composed of intellectuals while the League continued on with the workers.
