Worker's Party of Bludia (WPB) is a Bludish political party in Sordland, which garners most of its support from the Bergia region. Generally left-wing, the party places a strong emphasis on participatory democracy, unions, minority rights and egalitarianism. The party brought great criticism for the usage of the Bludish name (Bludia) for the region of Bergia in its name.

Aspiring to fundamentally challenge the existing Sordish-Bludish divide and other existing parameters in Sordish politics, the WPB was founded in 1948 as the continuation of the Bludish movement started by the Bludish Freedom Party. Despite their name, they claim to be a political party representing the whole region of Bergia and want to represent all of Sordland regardless of ethnic backgrounds, rejecting the label of Bludish nationalism.

Some members of the USP has claimed that the WPB has direct ties with Bludish Freedom Front (BFF) which was not proven and have been numerously denied by its members. In the 1949, the party put forward its earlier chairman, Mansoun Leke, who won 6% of the vote. Leke had then resigned from the party and ran as an independent to bypass the 10% election threshold. In 1953 elections, the party won 9% of the vote, barely losing the elections this time, despite concerns that the departure of Leke may result in lower votes.
