Injury to a person is an injury to all is a popular motto used by World Industrial Workers. In his autobiography, Bill Haywood praised David C. Coates by suggesting a labor slogan for IWW: injury to a person is an injury to all . The slogan has since been used by a number of labor organizations. The slogan reflects the fact that IWW is "One Big Union" and organizes skilled and unskilled workers. Although the number of organized workers is reduced today, this slogan is still popular with unions and other organizations.

Origin
This phrase is similar to, and probably derived from, a slogan popularized in the previous quarter of a century by the Warrior of Labor, "it is the best government in which one wound is the concern of all."
