Meeting with Bakers Union – 11th January

I met with the Bakers Union – shocking to hear that some of their members are not able to buy their own food because of their low salaries.

Good discussion on how we can work to ensure quality, affordable food which is locally and sustainably produced and where those who work in our food industry whether in production or retail get decent terms & conditions & access to training.

Keen to work on community access to food and enable councils to work with local communities to support access to food.

We need to see progress by the SNP Government on the Good Food Nation agenda to act on the key proposals from my colleague Elaine Smith MSP in her members’ bill.
