ALMOST 200 delegates from the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU) have gathered in Southport this week for their 101st conference to reflect on a year of successful strikes.
The union is known for its ability to organise precarious workers in sectors that traditionally have not been organised.
In the last 12 months the union has seen a series of strikes secure landmark pay rises from food industry titans.
