Union organiser


The BFAWU bakers’ and food workers’ union has joined forces with Sheffield Trades Union Council to hire an organiser to work across the low-paid, unorganised sectors in the city. 


It is the first time a dedicated union organiser post has been created for a city area and not tied to a particular trade union or specific company target.


The Sheffield Union Organiser will work across sectors with precarious workers such as retail, fast food and hospitality. 


The trades council said the initiative “could have a snowball effect in reaching out to unorganised workers across Sheffield’s disparate jobs market”.
