根据劳工历史学家Philip S. Foner的说法,IWW理论家故意没有详细介绍“工业民主”的概念;从这个意义上说,细节留给了“未来社会的发展”。[48]但是,某些概念是隐含的。工业民主将是“(建立在)旧的外壳中的新社会”。[49]工会成员教育自己按照民主原则经营工业,没有现有的等级所有权与管理结构;生产和分配等问题将由工人自己管理。[47]
1919年6月,AFL全国组织在新泽西州大西洋城举行的会议上通过决议,反对总罢工。这些诉讼的官方报告将该公约描述为该组织“最大的、也很有可能是通过的最重要的公约”(largest and in all probability the most important Convention ever held),在一定程度上通过粉碎“大联盟”的主张来“压倒性地击败所谓的激进分子”;同时也是为了通过“超过20比1的投票”来击败全国总罢工的提议。”[54]AFL修改其宪法,禁止任何中央工会(即地区劳工委员会) )“未经有关工会国家官员事先批准而进行罢工投票”。[54]这一变化旨在“检查总罢工情绪的蔓延,并防止西雅图发生的事件再次发生,现在正在温尼伯进行。”[54]任何未经授权的罢工投票的处罚都是撤销该机构的章程。[54]
