The Workers' Party (Swedish: Arbetarpartiet) is a democratic socialist political party in Sweden. It was founded in 2010, when almost the entire Västerbotten County section of the Socialist Justice Party (RS) broke off ahead of the 2010 general election.[1][2] It adopted the name Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna, enhetslista för jobb - mot nedskärningar (Socialist Justice Party, Unity list for jobs - against cutbacks) for its party list. In early 2011, it was renamed to the Workers' Party. It currently holds two seats in the municipal assembly of Umeå (since 2014). The Workers' Party publishes the Weekly News (Veckans Nyheter).
