Description: Organiser Update is the newsletter of the Food and Allied Workers’ Union (FAWU), a South African trade union representing workers in the food processing, beverage, agriculture, and allied industries.

The newsletter records aspects of trade union organisation through workplace and regional reports, policy statements, educational material, and commentary on contemporary national events. The collection documents organised labour activity in South Africa during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and constitutes a primary source for the study of labour history, industrial relations, political organisation, and working-class experiences.
