The Aviation, Communication and Allied Workers Union (ACAWU) is a trade union in Trinidad and Tobago, most of whose members worked for BWIA West Indies Airways. BWIA West Indies Airways ceased operations on the 31 December 2006 and became Caribbean Airlines.

ACAWU has fought for the rights of Aviation workers for many years under the leadership of former Secretary General Peter Farmer.[1][2]

ACAWU's President General is Nwannia Sorzano after a Biennial National Convention and election held in early 2022. This was the first Biennial National Convention and Election for over four years and the first in many years to elect a full slate of candidates to fill all positions under the ACAWU Constitution .

Nwannia Sorzano appeared at the May Day Parade representing ACAWU in 2022 and was photographed by the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday [3]
