The Agency for Guild Enforcement and Mediation is responsible for enforcing the binding decisions of guilds on its members when the guild's internal efforts to do so have failed. These enforcements typically take the form of non-compliant firms or sections of workers still striking despite an internal guild decision ending such incidents. The Agency works with the [[Ministry of Justice (Urcea)|Ministry of Justice]] to issue requests for compliance, and failures to comply are referred for judicial action by the Agency. The Agency is also responsible for mediating disputes between separate guilds.

This ability, rarely used, is intended to prevent strikes or protracted gridlock between capital and labor.
