The North Wales Quarrymen's Union (NWQU) was a trade union in the United Kingdom.
History
The union was founded on 27 April 1874 at the Queen's Hotel, Caernarfon after a month of discussions between quarrymen from Dinorwic and other supporters.[1] Initially the union was not led by miners but radical Liberals who later became supporters of David Lloyd George's Cymru Fydd[2] It affiliated with the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1923, but maintained a separate identity until 1960.[3]
