The Northern Rhodesian African Mineworkers’ Union (A.M.U.) was a trade union in Northern Rhodesia which represented black African miners in the Copperbelt. The AMU was formed in 1949 and campaigned actively to improve working conditions and wages for African miners as well as opposing racial discrimination in hiring. The union amalgamated with several other mining unions in 1967 to form the Mineworkers’ Union of Zambia.
