The Workers' Party (

Since the 2018 elections, the "Umeå section" has maintained an equal footing with the national organisation, maintaining its two seats in Umeå city council, while the Socialist Justice Party had lost its seats except for the less populated Luleå, where it maintains two seats.

Politics

The party labels itself democratic socialist. The goal is to participate in building a new workers' party that establishes democratic control over the capitalist financial institutions and corporations that direct the economy.^[3]

Party members have a history of conducting policies that benefit workers employed in

Before the 2018 municipal election, the city of Umeå introduced a mandatory 3% electoral threshold, labeled by critics as an attempt to target particularly the Workers' Party and the Feminist Initiative, which both held under 4% of electoral support. The party, however, strengthened its electoral support with nearly 3,6 % and held its two seats.^[7]
