Real-life testimonies 👇 from shopworkers who have been targeted with abuse, threats and violence at work.

It has to stop.

Retail workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Congratulations to Reading General H067 branch on being featured on BBC South news highlighting USDAW’s Respect for Shopworkers campaign Rab Donnelly Jamie Gull UsdawUnion

I am appalled by reports by UsdawUnion about the scale of violence experienced by shopworkers. The reality is the Government have dropped the ball and as a result thousands of shopworkers have experienced threats, abuse and assault.

ShopKind Week of Action is from the 06-11 May.

It aims to unite the retail sector to tackle violence and abuse against shopworkers by asking people to #ShopKind when in stores.

ShopKind is backed by the Home Office.

Nobody should be afraid to work or to shop on their local high street. Yet soaring levels of retail crime have seen shopworkers face awful levels of violence and abuse at work.

That’s why I’m supporting The Co-Operative Party’s campaign to #EndRetailCrime

We are joining our city retailers this week to support the #ShopKind campaign, reminding all our shoppers how important it is to treat shopworkers with kindness and respect, this week and every week. 🤝

Bestwood officers have secured a banning order against a prolific shoplifter who has been tormenting the area.

Levi Wildridge has been a real pest for shopworkers in Bestwood and Bulwell in recent weeks – targeting stores over and over again.

Yet another U-turn by the Govt, they accepted Labour’s plan to make assault on shopworkers a specific crime.

But why did this take so long?

Why don’t they follow this up by stealing other Labour ideas, like 13,000 more neighbourhood police officers & removing the £200 limit?👇

A huge win for shopworkers like Gavin and his team in Clifton Central Co-op Food 🛒

Nobody should feel threatened at work, and I hope this will help end violence against shopworkers once and for all. Congratulations to Co-operative Party, Alex Norris MP and UsdawUnion for making this happen!

This #ShopKind week, remember shopworkers are real people with real feelings - 9 in 10 have faced verbal abuse in the last year. Show kindness when shopping and report any incidents you witness and help us stop abuse on our high streets.

North Wales PCC Andy Dunbobbin is proud

Delighted to welcome Alex Davies-Jones MP to Gloucester as part of the launch of Labour's plan to #EndRetailCrime - we spoke to shoppers and shopworkers about the massive impact shoplifting and abuse of shopworkers is having on our high streets. Enough is enough 🌹

The OPCC is supporting #ShopKind ! The campaign aims to encourage kind behaviour in shops. 70% of shopworkers have faced verbal abuse. We're working hard to prevent this anti-social behaviour.

Nobody should be afraid to work or to shop. Yet soaring levels of retail crime have seen shopworkers face violence and abuse at work.

As a The Labour Party & Co-operative Party candidate, I support the strong enforcement of a new criminal offence of assaulting a retail worker.

#EndRetailCrime

I’ve been meeting shopworkers across Leicestershire & Rutland.
We need action to tackle shoplifting and abuse and violence towards retail staff.
As Police Commissioner, I will make this a top priority with new action plans for every high street and shopping area #EndRetailCrime

Deterring thieves, verifying ages and refusing sales are just some of the tough situations shopworkers face daily that can turn into abuse.

North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and ShopKind Champion Andy Dunbobbin is backing #ShopKind week to remind everyone to treat staff
