OWF

The Orenian Worker’s Federation

A union of organized laborers to benefit the working class, the peasantry, and the vulnerable.

 

 

Mission Statement

The Orenian Worker’s Federation, abbreviated to the OWF, is a union of organized laborers with the objective of protecting the interests of the masses, through public demonstrations, direct political action, and collective bargaining. Established on the 15^thof the Harren’s Folly, 1749, by Eugene “Eddy” Bracchus, an Illatian immigrant and chef, the OWF was established with the intent of creating solidarity and a sense of brotherhood among his fellow workers, regardless of ethnic background or gender. A worker is a worker. Operating out of the imperial capital, Helena, the OWF expands to all reaches of the Empire, representing workers and the disadvantaged. Membership is open to all residents of the Empire. The OWF has two primary objectives, being political goals, which count as the endorsement of worker-friendly politicians, lobbying efforts, and public demonstrations. There are also routine goals, which count as securing employment for workers, protecting benefits, and sponsoring lawsuits in the case of labor law violations. The working class, peasants, homeowners, and the disadvantaged in society would be more impactful if bargaining as a collective. In this new era of a staunch representative democracy, a liberal marketplace, and unprecedented change, it is profoundly important that the workers are not exploited for the benefit of the few, but nurtured for the needs of the many. You, the worker, are the backbone of civilization, and deserve to be treated as such.

 

Platform

The OWF’s principles and objectives are as follows;

• To establish an Empire-wide jobs program, finding formal employment opportunities for members
• To protect immigrants and ethnic minorities, such as Illatians and Farfolks, from labor and societal discrimination
• To negotiate reasonable terms of employment with employers, creating bridges between small businesses and workers
• To fight for the worker when those terms of employment are breached through collective bargaining
• To sponsor legal counsel for workers, free of charge, when they’ve fallen victim to a violation of labor laws
• To endorse political candidates for the Imperial Senate, mayorships, city council, and other elected posts who pledge to fight for the working class
• To lobby the imperial government for increased worker protections
• To organize public demonstrations when faced with an act of injustice, taking advantage of the newfound political system for the good of the people

 

Structure

The OWF will be composed of members, local union presidents, officers, and the union president, all of which are elected positions, sticking to our democratic principles. Conventions will be held regularly, where union members will be allowed to vote on proposed measures. A more in-depth hierarchy will be formulated in the near future, when the union is formally established and input of founding members is given.

 

Membership

Union membership is open to all residents of the Empire, from any background. Barkeeps, stewards, servants, independent merchants, laborers, and the structurally unemployed are all welcome to the OWF. The application for membership is below. Please send your applications to the return address on this flier.
