The General Agricultural Workers' Union (GAWU) is a trade union representing workers in the agriculture sector in Ghana.
It affiliated to the Ghana Trades Union Congress.
Almost all of its early members worked for state-owned businesses, but it gradually evolved to have strong representation in both the public and private sectors.
Since 1979, it has also represented smallholders and unwaged rural workers.
[1][2] In 1986, the union was the first in Ghana to appoint a National Women's Co-ordinator, and it has since appointed women's committees in each region.
