The Worker's Board of Representation

The Worker's Board of Representation (WBR or Worker's Board) is a 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.

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. Aswell as over two hundred and sixteen million members donations and support created about $490,000,000 (just over three hundred million Pfunds). Overseas donations are believed to have generated a further $100,000,000.

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. It is also a thorn in the side of the Social-Democrats for they rely so heavily upon the Worker's Board.

Structure

Infastructure is treated very seriously within the Worker's Board. The lowest denomination are the 'Members' of which everyone is grouped in. 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. From here a Representative can become a member of the one-hundred member counil and become a 'Councillor'. Councillors are the excecutive branch of the union. The Councillors also elect a Chairman and other places of responsiblity. The current Chairman is Jonathon Leagh - a one time Senator for the Social-Democrats (although the party was the Socialist Internationalist Party then).

Worker's Board Review and Mission Statement=

The Worker's Board Review is a weighty quartly magazine printed by the Worker's Board. Although it writes about current affairs and politics it always prints the 'Worker's Board of Representatives Mission' that starts:

'Worker's Progressive Socialism. The ideological belief that socialism is a path that must be achieved through not just democracy but through social-democracy and a mixed-economy. It is of the upmost concern that (be it through socialism or otherwise) that worker's rights are represenated. Therefore we shall stand both alone in activism and together in support for whichever political grouping is most likely to reflect our views. Finally we declare it is the wish of our Members, Representatives and Councillors that choose our political path. Through democracy we shall prevail, together as one.'

Overseas

Currently the Worker's Board is looking to extend branches in the Inquisitorial Outcasts and Anumia - two large socialist states. Such a move would like cause critics to further their belief that the Worker's Board is an organisation deeply rooted in the cause of spreading and influencing all nations.
