The Union Labor Party was a political party in the United States during the late nineteenth century. The party was organized at Cincinnati in 1887 as a merger of several agrarian, socialist, and trade union groups, following the success of state and municipal labor parties in the 1886 United States elections. The national party ran Alson Streeter in the 1888 United States presidential election. After 1891, the party was absorbed into the new People's Party.
