Lovia United

Lovia United is Lovia's oldest Union founded in 1944 for police workers and firefighters of Lovia. The Union was founded in Noble City, Sylvania by local firefighters after large fires broke out, and hours were extended but pay was not increased. The Union was able to convince some Noble City police officers to join the Union as well in 1949. The Union has been known to strike five times in it's history, the longest lasting seventeen days in 1950. The union is currently lead by Kesely McDermott, a Sergent for the Federal Police.

History and Strikes
The first strike from the Union came in 1947, three years after the founding, when local firefighters in Train Village grew disgrunteled after there pay was cut 5% and pensions 3%. The workers went on strike and were able to retain there normal pay, but the 3% cut in pension would continue. The Union saw growth in the Train Village area afterwars with new firemen joining the Union everyday. By 1949 the Union now included Policemen, the first ones joining in Noble City. By 1950 the Union had 300 members, 280 in Sylvania. In 1950 the second ever strike occured when the unionized police force in Noble City striked, leaving the force just a bit weak. The workers were able to obtain a 3.9% pay rise and able to help the non-unionized workers as well. From the 1960's - 1990's the Unoin continued to grow and was able to spand across all five states. In 1995 the Union adopted a new logo which is still used until today. In 2010 the Union preformed a nationwide "day of no-work" when the government passed reform to abolish local police departments and have one Federal Police. The Union was not able to stop the reform, but still wants devolution of policing and firefighting authority to the localities in Lovia. Today the Union has 1,358 members, most being policemen and women.
