Trade unions in Saint Lucia first emerged in the 1930s. The St Lucia Teachers' Association was established in 1934 as a professional organisation.[2] Following the formalisation of collective bargaining on the island in 1938, the Saint Lucia Workers' Co-operative Union was founded in 1939.[3][4]

All unions on the island, with the exception of the National Workers Union, are members of the Trade Union Federation (TUF), the country's national centre.[2]
