Brilliant and inspiring Right to Food Commission community session tonight

We are proud to be supporting this really important work

Never forget

Ending hunger is also a political choice. It’s time for governments across the UK to make the choice to end hunger and food insecurity

Motion 29 was raised today by Branch 503 and was titled ‘Regulation and Unionisation of the Scottish Salmon Industry’.

The motion called on conference to support the “complete overhaul of how the Scottish salmon industry operates. For too long this industry has bathed in the prestige of Scotland’s premium export outside of the whiskey industry. Despite being highly unregulated, this industry has some of the worst health & safety in Europe.”

Speaking on the motion, Chris McGill told Conference “The contrast between Rosyth and Norwegian Mowi Plants is night and day. Norway is fully unionised, clean and safe. In Rosyth those people working on the lines are allowed a timed 7-minute toilet break when the line stops. But everyone has to go at the same time, and the toilets could be at the other end of the factory. The canteen is not suitable and people are eating in the car parks… We talk about increasing membership and this is the ideal opportunity to do this.”

The motion was passed by Conference

It’s a privilege to be attending the The POA conference.

A great trade union for their members (and we are big fans of their merch too!)

Today, the UK Right To Food Commission have written to the Prime Minister raising urgent concerns over rising food insecurity, increasing food inflation and reports of potential dynamic pricing for food in supermarkets.

With 14 million people across the UK already living with food insecurity, we are calling for immediate action to protect families struggling to afford basic essentials.

Our message is clear:

* Food is a human right, not a luxury.
* Dynamic pricing for food must never be introduced.
* Household incomes must rise for those most at risk.
* Support for community food hubs and grassroots organisations must be strengthened.
* Excessive profiteering while families go hungry cannot continue.

The evidence gathered by the Commission across Liverpool, Newcastle, Aberdare, Cardiff and Belfast shows that food insecurity is driving health inequalities, damaging life opportunities and deepening poverty in communities across the country.

We urge the Government to act now.
