The Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) is a trade union in South Africa. It was formed through the amalgamation of the Food and Canning Workers’ Union, the Sweet, Food and Allied Workers’ Union and the Retail and Allied Workers’ Union. FAWU is a founding affiliate of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU).
UNAUTHORIZED POSTER MISLEADING FAWU MEMBERS
FAWU has noted with great concern that there is a poster circulating, written “VOTE ANC 29TH MAY 2024” with various Union logos including a FAWU logo.
We would like to clearly state that FAWU is not aware of the poster that is circulating about the elections on the 29th May 2024. The poster was not authorized by FAWU, and we have not called any workers including its members to vote for the ANC.
We therefore distance ourselves from this unauthorised poster and the use of our name because the context is misleading and unacceptable.
FAWU Condemns Threats
