Workers and Unemployed Action (WUA) is an Irish political party based in Clonmel in South County Tipperary, set up in 1985 by Séamus Healy, who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for Tipperary South intermittently since a 2000 by-election.[2] The party has endorsed and seen a number of its members elected to the South Tipperary County Council, Tipperary County Council, and Clonmel Borough Council.[3]
The organisation was set up in response to lack of employment and the economic situation in the South Tipperary area.
The party supports a progressive taxation system, full employment and Irish unity.[4]
