(LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA) - Hundreds of Fast Food Workers have launched the California Fast Food Workers Union (CAFFWU), the first-ever Statewide Fast Food Workers Union that will fight for racial and economic justice for the half a million Fast Food Workers in California as part of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

Laura Pozos, a Los Angeles McDonald’s Worker and Steering Committee Member of the California Fast Food Workers Union, said: “The California Fast Food Workers Union is for all of us Cooks and Cashiers, half a million strong, who work hard every day to provide for our families and support our communities.  The big companies that employ us want to ignore us and make us feel small - but through our Union, we’ll show them that when we join together we can’t be ignored.”

The CAFFWU is focusing on three core priorities: Annual Wage Increases; Just Cause and the Opportunity to Work.
