The Workers' Romerist Organization (Creeperian: Organización Romeristo de los'Trabajadores, abbreviated as ORT) is the sole legal trade union in all of Creeperopolis. The trade union was founded in 1950 and is heavily associated with the Creeperian Initiative, the sole legal political party of the country. Joining the trade union is mandatory for all working citizens.

History

The Workers' Romerist Organization was founded on 20 November 1950 by the Creeperian Initiative. The trade union was made into the only legal trade union in the country which had just recently concluded a lengthy and bloody civil war.

The logo of the trade union is a hammer, representing the workers, to arrows, representing employers and the government, and a yoke, representing the string bind and unity between the three groups. The yoke and arrows were originally symbols of the Catholic Royalist Party.
