BFAWU: what our members want from the politicians
After surveying our members on issues from the NHS to Gaza, we are launching our Bakers’ Dozen manifesto in the House of Commons, laying out exactly what our demands are in the run-up to the election, writes SARAH WOOLLEY
BFAWU manner

AS BRITAIN prepares for a general election the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) has produced a manifesto for progressive change based on feedback from our members who took part in a wide-ranging survey.

These are the policies our members would like to see embraced by political parties in their manifestos.

The forthcoming election comes against a growing sense of national decline and the relentless dismantling of public services, the welfare state and the wider social fabric that has been hard won through the decades of campaigns and struggles fought by the labour and trade union movement.
