>> Rehabilitation and Integration of the Unioner Movement members within the Imperial Civil Society with the support of the Kaiserreich Rheinland-Unioner Inclusion Board.
On 827, the Kaiser of Kaiserreich Rheinland promulgate a law which exonerates Unioner Movement of their non-violent and political crimes committed during the Federal rule and welcomes them back into the Kaiserreich on an individual basis. If any individual from the Unioner Movement is still engaged in acts of piracy and terrorism against the Kaiserreich, he/she shall be treated as enemy of the state and subject to arrest or termination.
The Unioner Movement shall begin a process of acclimatization and inclusion within the Imperial Civil Society and its movements, being reorganized as a Trade Union, with the statement that Movement will be allowed to continue if it will be reorganized as a Trade Union, an organisation which is not punishable or forbidden under the Kaiserreich Laws.
For the purpose of Integration of Unioner Movement members within the Imperial Society, a new body shall be created will created, known as Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board, created with members from the Imperial Police and Military and their counterparts from within the Unioner Movement. This shall function on case basis, as the case will be assessed on a person-centered basis.
The new Board will support and check into the actions and facts which led to those actions of each Unioner and will provide support with their rehabilitation.
After making the initial assessment of the case, the Board will decide if they would escalate the case to the Fact-Finding Committee or they would only provide the Counselor which will help the Unioner to assess their intention, their education and their mental health condition, which will be done with informing the individual about the current stage in which their case is.
The meetings between the individuals and the Board will take place in diverse location aboard the Unioner bases or in secure environments on Imperial Planets or Stations and the support through this phase shall be fully provided by the Board, as each case may vary. The Board shall be aware of its available resources and its funding.
Throughout this process, a path in 4 steps will be developed (see below) and should the Unioner show that they have been responsive to all the steps detailed below and having a two year evidence of their change of perspectives and life options. This will be attained through assessments of effectiveness taken through repeated and continual engagement with the Inclusion Board for the assimilation period.
Social support will be provided for the whole period, as long with vocational training (Higher Education or just Valid Empire Certifications) and job placement accordingly to their set skill, to facilitate a better social reintegration within the Empire Civil Society. In addition, the Unioners families will be given the same rights as the Imperial Citizens have, but with the condition that the adult members will be part of one of the Rehabilitation programs (the child will automatically be treated as Imperial Citizen, if he/she is underage).If any of the member of the family will be willing to serve with the Imperial Volk Militia groups, the family shall be taken into the care of the Inter-Agency Family Care, which will provide military grants to the family members and support the family for the duration of the family member deployment.
The Board will monitor each case and will make the required adjustments to serve to the local Imperial Communities and the member(s) of the Unioner Movement.
>> Education Rehabilitation for Unioners
Every Unioner will be subject to Qualification programs at the Rheinland Universities on New Berlin and Stuttgart. The educational curriculum will be relevant to their skills and work within the Unioner organisation.
This step is required to create an equivalent and to produce equality between the Unioners and the rest of the Rheinland population, making sure that they would not be not processed by recruitment through the loophole of bureaucracy.
The program will commence with tests of general education and creating a baseline for each individual Unioner, from which it knowledge will be build on and the person can work towards their degree/certification.
The Rheinland Kaiserreich will create maintenance loans and student loans for the Unioners, known as Neer Loans. The government will support loans up to 75.000 credits for a period of 4 years, based on the level the individual is and his/her financial means. Families will be receiving the normal allotment to any other Rheinland Family and they would have to pay back the loan as any other Rheinlander. The benefactors of Neer Loans will pay back the loan beginning with their 4th month of employment and payment per annum will not be more than 15% from their yearly income.
This program shall be available to any Unioner which has been established that is not a criminal and if the unioner is imprisoned for their past crimes, they shall have access to this program, in preparation to their liberation.
Each student will be subject to quarterly inspection by members of the Rheinland-Unioner Inclusion Board, to check on their progress.
>> Employment Rehabilitation for Unioners
Any Unioner who is completing their degree/certification, can be eligible to be employed on any position within the Rheinland Empire, according to his/her abilities and skills.
Any discrimination against the Unioners must be reported to the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion board and will be checked by the Imperial Police, according to the new Executive Orders issued by the Reichstag.
Any Unioner who will be using this program will be checked periodically by members of the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board to make sure that the person or family is integrating within the work environment and within the society.
Any criminal acts committed against any Rheinland citizen, fellow Unioners or Kaiserreich Institutions and Laws will be punishable by Imperial Police and Imperial Military accordingly, without discrimination based on gender, workplace or position.
The Unioner movement will be recognised as a political entity and will be treated as a Trade Union for the Shipbuilders of Rheinland Kaiserreich. The Union will be able to represent employees and Unioner members alike in the Reichstag and will have the same responsibilities and powers as any other work union within the Empire. This new recognition will mean the absolution of the organisation of any non-violent and political crimes committed for the good of the organisation and the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board will work together to sort out and sustain the admission of Unioner personal within the Rheinland Imperial Society.
Unioners will be able to serve the Kaiser and the Imperial Military, organised as Imperial Volk Militia, maintaining their identity and shipbuilding capacity, being organised accordingly to the Imperial Military combat formation but lacking the heavier equipment (*exemptions may be allowed by the Reichstag and Imperial Military. All heavier class ships, from Cruiser class up, will be returned to Imperial Military). The Imperial Volk Militia will be under the joint command of Imperial Military officers and Unioner leaders, first one’s classing as observers and advisors, also supporting their Soldatens to better integrate within the Imperial Army. Imperial Volk Militia will be rotating for a period of 6 months to each Military Detachment, to create better bonds between the Imperial Military and their detachments. Imperial Volk Militia will be subject to the same rules and regulations like the Imperial Military and may be used to enforce the law and orders issued by Imperial Military Joint High Command and Reichstag.
>> Counselling and Fact-Finding under the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board
Each Unioner member will be seen by the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board and will be subject to Counselling, Psychological and Fact-Finding protocols.
If there are issues with the Unioner member, he or she will be the subject to Counselling, done on a person centered approach.
The Fact-Finding Committee will be formed of both Unioner and Kaiserreich Polizei Officers and they will track down the member actions while he/she was a member of the Unioners. All theft, scamming, extortion actions shall be pardoned, falling under the Kaiser Pardon Order. If the member has committed a crime/murder/destruction of property of Rheinland, it must be escalated. The Committee will need to track down if the orders were issued by the Unioner High Command or their respective Chain of Command and it must be carried under that flag, in which case, the member will be acquitted of the said crime/action but will be under the scope of the Imperial Police. If the member will commit any other crime after this pardon, it shall be treated as a new crime and under the Imperial Law, which may lead to imprisonment or termination (extreme cases).
If the crime has not been committed at order from Unioner High Command or outside of their local chain of command, and the crime was done for their own personal gain, the member shall be referred for a Deep Core Psychological Test and will be subject to Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which will treat the aggressive traits of the person, creating a new pattern which will abhors the Imperial Laws.
The Counselling Rehabilitation will take part with the person, on one to one basis, where the individual will have a chat with the Counselor and set up a new life plan within the Borders of the Rheinland Empire. (the discussion can have a varied range, vocational, academic, social or personal. The goal is to provide new insight into their goals and motivations, helping them to find new skills. The Counsellor can also look into issues as depression, stress and substance abuse). The main entity which will provide this support will be the Imperial Society “Wilhelm”.
Asking to be seen first with this will be granting the person which requested extra points and will show a will to be part of the new Imperial Society.

The members of the Unioner Movement will join local volunteering and social groups, to close the possible gaps between the Rheinland Citizens and the Unioner members. (possible with the guidance and help of the on call local Counselor assigned to that area)
The Unioner members will be regularly checked by the Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board members and will be subject to checks on their employment and their social inclusion, asking the community about them. This check will last for 2 years, the period of the inclusion program.
