Ergatocrat

/ˈɜrɡətəˌkræt/ noun

Definition

A person who holds power in an ergatocracy; a leader or ruler representing workers' interests.

Etymology

From 'ergatocracy' combined with '-crat' (ruler), this term describes an individual leader within a worker-dominated system of government.

Kelly Says

An ergatocrat would be like a union leader who actually became president—someone who rose from the working class and still fights for regular workers' rights instead of big business.
