Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union general secretary Sarah Wooley chaired the fringe meeting at the TUC women’s conference in Bournemouth, which also heard from National Union of Journalists general secretary Laura Davison and Jackie Marshall of the Prison Officers Association.

RMT’s Annila Saghir spoke about the need for allyship, describing her own personal experience of assault on a train.
