THIS weekend, we celebrate a year of the Organise Now project, launched by the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, Strike Map and Notes from Below at last year’s World Transformed festival.

Organise Now is a response to the crises in work, pay and living standards. As a movement, we have to face the reality that, according to the government’s own data, 200,000 left the union movement in 2022 — 129,000 of them women in the private sector.
