Respect Day for shopworkers

Retail union USDAW is to step up its campaign against violence towards shopworkers with a day of action this month. The union wants to make Wednesday 17 September the biggest day in its history, to get the message across that shopworkers deserve to go to work free from the fear of attack and abuse. The day is part of the Freedom from Fear campaign. The union wants members to organise events in their workplaces on the day and will be organising stalls in high streets and shopping centres.
