The Labor Union of Liberia (abbreviated LUL) was the first trade union in Liberia.[1] LUL was founded in 1949.[2][3] A legislation paving the way for the foundation of LUL was passed by the legislature of Liberia on December 22, 1949.[4] LUL was not limited to any specific profession, and organized clerks, merchants, truck drivers, laundry workers, store workers and typists.[4] LUL was dependent on the Liberian government.[4]

After a short period of existence LUL went defunct.[4][5]
