They don't, generally speaking - it's only the name of the political party that lacks it; the name came from the American "labor movement".
This present situation in Australia is, of course, extremely similar to the situation we faced in the UK three months ago - an election result with no party having an overall majority. The result in the UK's case was a coalition government formed by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties.
