CAIWU was founded in 2016 and is an independent workers union designed to help organise cleaners across the UK.

CAIWU is run by its members, for its members and all have equal rights and an equal voice in how it is run. We are founded on the principle that our members are the core of the union, and they make the decisions. From top to bottom, there is democracy and openness in how the union is run and how it negotiates with employers.
