better protection for retail workers

MANCHESTER – The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) has launched a petition urging the UK government to implement new legislation that would protect retail workers from violence, threats and abuse.

USDAW says such incidents have only become more frequent since lockdown was lifted, and that it can fall back on “significant evidence” that it’s collated to support its assertions that retail workers face routine abuse whilst doing their job.
