Retail and Fast Food Workers Union
YOUR FIGHTING UNION
Wages in retail and fast food are low. Jobs are often casual. Shifts aren’t guaranteed. Workers are vulnerable to harassment and abuse.
If you want to change these things, you need a union, a group of workers organising to improve their conditions.
Our members have organised to win better wages and conditions, improve their workplace safety, and have stood up to some of the biggest employers in the country.
We are your grassroots, fighting union — a union for workers, not bosses.

They were almost all women, employed in casual jobs and struggling with the pandemic. Through their direct collective action, they achieved unprecedented conditions in Australian retail. This preview version of the full film tells their story and how they set a new standard for Australian retail workers through their union, RAFFWU.
