The Workers' Union was a general trade union based in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with small branches overseas. The union was founded on 1 May 1898. During the 1910s, it was the largest general union in the UK, but it went into decline in the 1920s. In 1929 the Workers' Union amalgamated into the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU).
