The Black Buzzard Collective
The Black Buzzard Collective is one of the most influential scrapper's unions in the system, and one of the most notorious labor movements of the last century. Formed in the middle of the Orion Insurgency, the Black Buzzards started more as anti-corporate insurgency group composed of dissatisfied scrappers than a union, and though it has moved on from its more violent tactics, it has never been able to--or tried to--move on from its reputation as a radical militant group. Even now, they maintain the express agreement with the corporations they deal with that failure to listen to their demands may lead to the commandeering of company vessels and equipment, and rumors abound that the dealings between the Buzzards and corporations can get rather bloody on the down-low.
Public Agenda
To secure and protect better working rights for scrappers throughout the system. The exact demands vary from company to company, but the most common include: better pay, rights to compensation for work-related injuries, better safety regulations, elimination of policies that keep workers in debt to their employer, and a right to free transport off-site upon quitting.
A particular focus has been given to Storge Industries, as the group was started by scrappers working for Storge and the company has remained--while on most accounts a fairly miserable employer to work for--at least relatively cooperative.
