Who runs the Labor Party?
The convention is the supreme governing body of the Labor Party and has final authority in all matters of national policy, program and constitution. Between conventions, the National Council is the governing body with full authority to issue policy statements in the name of the Labor Party. The National Council is made up of representatives of the major affiliating unions and worker-supportive organizations, Labor Party chapter representatives and individuals who represent constituencies not otherwise adequately represented. The National Organizer directs the Labor Party’s activities on a day-to-day basis.
