A NEW study will examine the experiences of food workers to highlight the impact of poverty during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) will ask people employed across the food sector about the impact of the virus, including whether they have had to sacrifice food for themselves to feed others.

Announcing the study today, the union said that it aimed to highlight how those who have continued working to feed Britain during the pandemic may be struggling themselves.
