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.
