Thank you to everyone from UsdawUnion The Labour Party and Co-operative Party out today talking about the scandal of retail crime and violence against shopworkers.
We need to build support for Labour’s Community Policing Guarantee to get a grip of this crisis once and for all.

Retail workers in Northern Ireland are in danger of being left behind the rest of the UK and being at greater risk of violence, threats and abuse.

I’ve written to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister calling for a separate criminal offence to protect shopworkers.

Listening to Ministers crowing, you would think prices are falling, but they are not. Too many families still face significant price increases on everyday essentials usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

It is shocking that nearly a fifth of our members working in retail are being assaulted. They provide an essential service and deserve our respect and the protection of the law usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

The Chancellor did the exact opposite of what our members and all workers need. He hasn’t listened, fails to take the real action working people need and has instead made a desperate attempt to bribe the electorate and grab headlines, which will not work usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

deserve far more respect than they receive. While violence, threats and abuse impacts workers of all ages, there is no doubt that there young shopworkers face particular issues usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

It is deeply disturbing that the level of incidents faced by retail workers is now higher than ever, according to the ACS annual crime survey. Violence and abuse are not an acceptable part of the job and too many shopworkers suffer all too often usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

Too many workers are stuck on zero or short hours contracts, regardless of the hours they work or how long they’ve been with their employer. We need a The Labour Party Government and a New Deal for Working People, to give workers their financial security back.
