Retail and Fast Food Workers Union
YOUR FIGHTING UNION
In October 2023 Coles and Woolworths members are on strike. Find out more.
We are the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union (RAFFWU), fighting for the rights and dignity of some of Australia’s most exploited workers.
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, have improved their workplace safety, and stood up to some of the biggest employers in the country.
We are your grassroots, fighting union — a union for workers, not bosses.

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.
