The People's Labour Movement (PLM) was a left-leaning political party in Grenada. It began in December 1995 as the Democratic Labour Party, founded by four former members of the National Democratic Congress and led by Francis Alexis. In the late 1990s, Alexis left the party. In 2002 the PLM merged with the Maurice Bishop Patriotic Movement. In the 2003 elections, the party won 2% of the vote but no seats. For the July 2008 elections, the PLM formed a coalition with its former rival, the Grenada United Labour Party, under the banner United Labour Platform. The coalition ran 11 candidates for 15 seats but received only about 0.8% of the vote and still won no seats. The PLM became defunct after the 2008 elections. The party promoted democratic socialism, labourism, left-wing populism, progressivism, secularism, and social democracy, placing itself from left to centre-left.
