Free Workers' Union
Freie ArbeiterInnen Union, FAU
This is an anarcho-syndicalist trade union. They use a flag of red over black - _per bend sinister_- with the white inscription "FAU" and their logo. The logo shows a white circle with a white cat. The cat seems to be a widespread symbol of anarcho-syndicalists.

I guess that FAU is the local branch of CNT. The same kind of flags with the cat and CNT instead of FAU are used in France by Conf�d�ration Nationale des Travailleurs, at least on street stickers. It seems that during street demonstrations, flags are mostly black and red without any charge.
