Strike!

The strikers march through Novi Nigrad


The steelworkers of Novi Nigrad have decided to go on strike. The strike was called by SUY (Steelworkers Union of Yardistan) leaders David Ramsay and George Delph in a response to the rumours of restoration of feudalism and the large scale of downsizing in the steel factories of Yardistan. Due to the bitter economic circumstances and the decrease of the armed forces in the State after the merger with Goldshire, the steel factories have ran out of orders.

The strikers are demanding an immediate stop on further "feudalisation" and wish to halt the ill-fated merger with Goldshire so that Yardistan can once again run its own affairs.

Furthermore, the SUY wants increased wages, more orders and government provisions to enable the steelworkers to keep their jobs.

The strike was met with hostile reactions from local authorities representing the government but some government members have been less negative. Minister of Military Affairs Jacob Darylion has promised to look into Yardistan's armed forces to ensure more work in the steel sector.

Ivan Verion calls for Yardistan being an independent Imperial State


Darylion's nephew Ivan Verion, who is chairman of the Yardistani Workers Party, has supported the strike and held a speech at one of the largest demonstrations, calling for immediate Yardistani independence as an Imperial State in its own right and a more equal and fairer government.

It is unsure when work at the Novi Nigrad steel factories might resume, the situation at the moment looks quite tense and considering the high demands of the strikers, the situation isn't expected to be resolved soon.
