The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers' Union (GAWU) is the largest trade union in Guyana. It was founded in 1946 as the "Guiana Industrial Workers' Union". After failing in the 1950s it was reformed as the "Guyana Sugar Workers' Union" in 1961, but changed its name to "Guyana Agricultural Workers' Union" in 1962 before becoming the GAWU later that decade.
The GAWU is affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions.
