Workers who Struggle in Solidarity

This trade union, often referred to as the WWSIS, originates from the city of Betaville, Canada. The founding statement has very likely been written by an unidentified engineer from the Betaville suburb Verdun Springs. The text states that the goal is to "unite radical workers (m/f)". The membership of the union is varied, with both students, lawyers, teachers and medics active alongside engineers and even scientists. The trade union therefor can be characterized as cross-sectional and lacks a bureaucratic apparatus. The size of the funds in the war chest of the union is unknown. Its capacity to sustain strike action remains unclear. So far no public statement has been made on who its elected officials are.

Views

Besides the fight against zombies, the WWSIS sees another fight. The founding statement claims "the shock of the epidemic can be used by bosses and bigots to try and control the rest of us." This line in the WWSIS foundational text seems to imply that both the divide between life and (un)death, as well as those between classes are important to its founders. This view is summed up in the slogan 'Neither zombies nor bosses, but workers power', which its members are known to have been spray painting on city walls. The slogan 'Better red than zed' is also often used by its members.

From Betaville to Malton

In the city of Betaville the WWSIS has been a stable and growing force, and is amongst the three biggest survivor groups. It contributes to the struggle by up keeping power plants, Internet services and the clearing of zed nests. They have been seen using combat revivification against the plague, but have no public revive point that they support at the present. The Betaville core of the organization is made up of such people as Amir, Jelle K, OmeH, John Block, Pinta and Lanath. Their area of operation is the Krinks Power Station and the Tolman Power Station where they have installed generators and transmitters, and are instrumental in maintaining power and safety.

Radio Station

The official and registered radio station of the WWSIS is LURCS at 27.18. They keep the Krinks and surroundings updated. Anyone in the Krinks is allowed to use the transmitters to send updates on the buiding and its surrounding area.
