The '''Worker's Board of Representation''' (WBR or Worker's Board) is a [[Niploma|Niplomian]] based trade union. It boasts a membership of 216,000,000 and absorbs hundreds of smaller trade unions into its wings. Although strictly a trade union the Worker's Board is notorious for its political action. Its members are mixed as either workers regarding trade-union representation or political acvitists wanting political representation. To allow for a smoother organisation the Council (see below) has suggested spliting the orgaisation into a political and trade-union wing.

Created in 1789 to repesent workers in what was 'The Feudal Republic of Bhumerick and Niploma' the Worker's Board began several strikes and political action to counter the rule that labour representation was illegal. By the civil war the Worker's Board had become militant and funded and aided the '''Socialist Resistance'''. This aid is generally seen as one of the key reasons the Socialists won the civil war.

It is therefore not suprising that the Worker's Board wields so much power. It is feared by the [[Libertarian Reform Party]] whom, if the wyin the election, will be harrased by the Worker's Board.

A large donation (typically 150 Pfunds) or substantial support will elevate the member to 'Representative'. The Representatives are allowed admission into the National Conferances and can vote on the unions matters.

History and Overview

Created in 1789 to repesent workers in what was 'The Feudal Republic of Bhumerick and Niploma' the Worker's Board began several strikes and political action to counter the rule that labour representation was illegal. By the civil war the Worker's Board had become militant and funded and aided the Socialist Resistance. This aid is generally seen as one of the key reasons the Socialists won the civil war.

Today the Worker's Board supports the Social-Democratic Party of Niploma through funds and activism. Alongside this the Worker's Board helps represent workers throughout Niploma to ensure standards are kept high. Every year the conferance ('The Worker's Board of Represenatation National Conferance') is held where members can vote on several matters and next years policy is outlined.
