Founded in 4120 the Luthori Steelworkers Union has organizations in all 5 regions of Luthori and all of the nations major cities.

While, until recently, the Luthori Steelworkers Union haven't been explicitly politically active, the leadership of the Union has became very personally involved in the recently formed Luthorian Worker's Party. Union boss Nina Francis famously introduced Luthorian Worker's Party leader Edison Turner to the nation at the announcement of the party's foundation, where he announced his candidacy for Imperial Prime Minister, and has been a key ally of both Turner and the party. Several other former union leaders have also found their way into key leadership roles of the LWP.

Luthorian Steelworkers On Strike

Following the announced resignation of Edison Turner as Minidter of Trade and Industry the Luthorian Steelworkers Union organized a massive strike. The strike comes on the heels of political fallout between Luthorian People's Union and Luthorian a Workers Party leadership. The Strike, organized by labor activist, union leader, Nina Francis, a member of the LWP, is to protest the inclusion of HDU members in any parliament proposal and is in response to the rumors of a Hosian Party members being appointed to the ministry of Trade and Industry

Nina Francis stopped to offer these brief comments.

We are not going to tolerate this blatant return to the past. And that's what this is, a return to having conservative capitalist parties calling the shots, a return to having the big, wealthy donors and lobbyists who are friends of the HDU making decisions about labor, collective bargaining, and working hours, we're not okay with it, as long as the HDU is going to be a part of government then we are prepared to strike.

Steelworkers Union End Strike

Following a prolonged period of demonstration the Luthorian Steelworkers Union announced late last night that they had voted to end their strike.

Nina Francis, union boss, had this to say; "
We are very thankful to those who supported us during the strike. Who stopped by to offer their kind words, to bring hot meals, or something to drink. Your support and generosity were so very appreciated. We still, obviously, aren't happy with the current political situation. We're still very disappointed in the LPU, which used to be a pro labor party, which used to support us, the Workers of this country, it's so disappointing to see them align with conservative capitalists and sell out to the special interests which so strongly back the HDU, but, we will continue to fight. Just through other means than strikes for now.
