Trade unions in Grenada

Trade unions in Grenada first emerged in 1913 with the formation of the Grenada Union of Teachers. In 1920, the Grenada Association (GA) was formed in response to growing unemployment due to the return to the island of demobilised soldiers from World War One and the completion of the Panama Canal. However, the GA proved ineffective and was renamed the Grenada Workers' Association (GWA) in 1921. In 1931, the GWA was able to successfully mobilise against the introduction of price rises on milk and tobacco, basic goods essential to workers, and following further demands, in 1933 trade unions were made legal. However, following legalisation the GWA split in two; in 1933, the Grenada Workers Union and the Grenada General Workers Union were registered.

In 1955 the GWA and the GGWU formed the Grenada Trades Union Council (GTUC).
