Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union

The Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (ICU) was a trade union and mass-based popular political movement in southern Africa. It was influenced by the syndicalist politics of the Industrial Workers of the World (adopting the IWW Preamble in 1925), as well as by Garveyism, Christianity, communism, and liberalism.

For the trade union based in Ghana, see Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (Ghana).
