National Labor (Delkoran: National Arbejdskraft) is a left-wing political party in Delkora. With over 12 million registered members, it is the largest political party in Delkora and one of the largest parties in Eracura.
History
National Labor was formed in 1876 by the United Workers Congress of Delkora to represent the interests of the country's growing trade union movement. Despite political repression by the jarls of Delkora's states, the party quickly established itself as a major electoral force, displacing the Liberals as the largest left alternative to the Conservative Party in the 1880 federal election and winning a plurality.
During the chancellorship of Magnus Brom, the party introduced economic reforms that laid the foundation for Delkora's welfare state, including unemployment and disability insurance, old age security, universal pensions, and workers' compensation. It also codified the right to collective bargaining and legalized strikes. Brom's government also instituted a number of political reforms, including universal male suffrage.
National Labor was returned to government in the late 1890s and early 1900s under the chancellorships of Torsten Branting and Niels Frederiksen.
