Expansion or decline - the future of the Bakers' Union
SARAH WOOLLEY explains why she, as a 32-year-old single mum who came from the shop floor, would be the best choice to lead her union

AS you are reading this BFAWU members everywhere will be receiving forms through the post for one of the most significant ballots in our history.

Our current general secretary Ronnie Draper is retiring and our members need to choose who is going to lead our fantastic union into its next phase. There are two of us standing, but I hope our members choose me.

My name is Sarah Woolley and I joined the BFAWU as a Saturday assistant at Bakers Oven (which became Greggs) when I was 16. I have never been part of another trade union. The BFAWU is all I know and I’ve a lot to be thankful for from my membership.
