USDAW event

👮 Keep your cool! Be kind to your Retail Workers 🚔

We were pleased to be invited by USDAW (Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers) to join them at our local Sainsbury's to help raise awareness of the abuse and hate faced by retail workers. 
Retail staff should be able to come to work and carry out their jobs without fear of being subjected to verbal abuse, threats, intimidation or hate.  And unfortunately, as the festive season comes around, abuse happens more often as we get closer to the big day.

Sadly, incidents of abuse towards shop workers remain a concern, and we are keen to support initiatives that highlight the impact this behaviour  has on those working in our local stores.

It was great to spend time speaking with staff and members of the public, raising awareness and reinforcing the message that abuse is not part of the job, and hate has no place in our community. 
Thank you to USDAW and the team at Sainsbury's for inviting us along and for the important work they do to support retail workers.
