The Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) is a trade union representing workers in the food processing industry in South Africa.
The union was formed in 1986, through the amalgamation of the Food and Canning Workers' Union, the Sweet, Food and Allied Workers' Union and the Retail and Allied Workers' Union.[1] In 2004, the union absorbed the South African Agricultural Plantation and Allied Workers Union.[2]
The union was long affiliated to the Congress of South African Trade Unions, but it resigned in 2016, in protest at the expulsion of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA).[3]
In 2017, it was a founding affiliate of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU), becoming that federation's second largest affiliate.[4]
