BFAWU sets out visionary manifesto for would-be Labour government

THE bakers’ union will today set out a visionary range of policies it wants from a Labour government, including a £15-an-hour living wage and renationalisation of utilities.

The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union’s (BFAWU) manifesto also called for a ban on zero-hours contracts, full employment rights from day one, the creation of a national care service and the abolition of university tuition fees.

It is based on recent polling of its members which also showed that their support for Labour has continued to fall, with just 43 per cent intending to vote for the party at the upcoming general election.
