Food workers condemn demonisation of refugees
Sarah Woolley BFAWU Conference

FOOD workers pledged today to challenge “harmful and divisive” anti-migrant rhetoric across workplaces and in some corners of the labour movement. 

BFAWU delegates meeting in Staffordshire overwhelmingly backed a motion which urged members to “call out the use of words that alienate and demean migrants and refugees.”

The call is especially important during one of the most “divisive” general election campaigns in recent memory, the union’s general secretary Sarah Woolley stressed, in an address on the closing day of the union’s annual conference in Stone.
