The Agricultural Food and Allied Democratic Workers Union (AFADWU) is a trade union representing food processing workers in South Africa.

The union was founded in 2016 after the dismissal of an army of worker leaders, shop stewards and officials by the Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU).[1] FAWU also disaffiliated from the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU).[2]

AFADWU is an association of employees whose principal purpose is to regulate relations between employees and employers, including any employers' organisations. On the 17th of April 2018, AFADWU was legally registered with the Department of Employment and Labour[3] in terms of the Labour Relations Act No 66 of 1995 as amended.

In 2018, AFADWU was accepted as an affiliate of COSATU.[2]
