Workers and Unemployed Action (WUA) is an Irish political party based in Clonmel in South County Tipperary, set up in 1985 by Séamus Healy. WUA had one Teachta Dála (TD) until 2020 and has endorsed and seen a number of its members elected to the South Tipperary County Council, Tipperary County Council, and Clonmel Borough Council.[2]

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.[3]
