Trade union of Italy

The **Italian Union of Landworkers** ([Italian](/source/Italian_language): *Unione Italiana Lavoratori della Terra*, UIL-TERRA) was a [trade union](/source/Trade_union) representing agricultural workers and farmers in Italy.

The union was founded in 1950, by former members of the [National Federation of Agricultural Workers](/source/National_Federation_of_Agricultural_Workers_(Italy)), and held its first conference in 1951. It was a founding affiliate of the [Italian Labour Union](/source/Italian_Labour_Union), and also joined the [International Landworkers' Federation](/source/International_Landworkers'_Federation).[1] It grew rapidly, and by 1964, it had 488,697 members.[2] That year, it split into the [Italian Union of Agricultural Labourers and Workers](/source/Italian_Union_of_Agricultural_Labourers_and_Workers) and the [Italian Union of Farm Owners and Tenants](/source/Italian_Union_of_Farm_Owners_and_Tenants).[1]
