BFAWU's general secretary Sarah Woolley

OVER the last year the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU) has been busy continuing our work on the Right to Food campaign.

An extensive members’ survey conducted last year produced shocking results. 40 per cent of respondents said that due to a lack of money they had eaten less than they thought they should have at some point during the pandemic.

Over 35 per cent said they had gone without enough food to make sure others in the house could be properly fed and 19 per cent reported that there had been a time during the pandemic when their household had run out of food because of a lack of money.
