Trade Unions In Grenada
Trade unions in Grenada first emerged in 1913 with the formation of the Grenada Union of Teachers. In 1920, the Grenada Association (GA) was formed in response to growing unemployment due to the return to the island of demobilised soldiers from World War One and the completion of the Panama Canal. However, the GA proved ineffective and was renamed the Grenada Workers' Association (GWA) in 1921. In 1931, the GWA was able to successfully mobilise against the introduction of price rises on milk and tobacco, basic goods essential to workers, and following further demands, in 1933 trade unions were made legal. However, following legalisation the GWA split in two; in 1933, the Grenada Workers Union and the Grenada General Workers Union were registered. In 1955 the GWA and the GGWU formed the Grenada Trades Union Council The Grenada Trades Union Council (GTUC) is the national trade union center for Grenada.

Trade Unions Established In 1955
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products and ...
