North Wales Quarrymen's Union

The North Wales Quarrymen's Union 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. Initially the union was not led by miners but radical Liberals who later became supporters of David Lloyd George's Cymru Fydd
It affiliated with the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1923, but maintained a separate identity until 1960.
