View source for Partido del Trabajo

The '''Partido del Trabajo''' (Workers Party) is a left-wing, socialist political party based in [[Anahuaco]]. Unlike many traditional socialist parties, Partido del Trabajo is a monarchist political movement, arguing that the Imperial system within Anahuaco provides the stability that enables economic prosperity.

==History==

Partido del Trabajo is one of the oldest political parties in Anahuaco, having been founded in 1706 (the same year that the Empire was established). While many of the founding members of the party had previously been aligned with the [[Republicanos]] movement, they considered themselves to be pragmatists rather than ideologues.

The party is one of only two political parties in Anahuaco to have been represented in every Congreso Honorable del Imperio (Honourable Congress of the Empire) in imperial history.

==Key policy positions==

As with many socialist parties, Partido del Trabajo adheres to many traditional left-wing political beliefs. These include:

* The right of workers to form and participate in trade unions.

* Constitutional rights to paid time off work, as well as paid sick and parental leave.

* A federally mandated minimum wage.

* Protection from unfair dismissal or unsafe, unsanitary or unhealthy working conditions.

==Controversies==
At various points in the party’s history, representatives have advocated for a negotiated settlement to end the conflict with the [[Republicanos]]. Such statements are considered taboo within the Congreso Honorable del Imperio (Honourable Congress of the Empire), leading to several representatives being suspended from attending debates.

These incidents have led some to accuse the party of being Republicano sympathisers, althhogh this has never been official party policy.
