Retailers unite to call for Government to avoid a life sentence of violence and abuse for shopworkers – Retail Times

Published on A coalition which consists of more than 30 major retail businesses, are today (12 May, 2021) urging MPs to avoid shackling over three million shopworkers to a “life sentence” of violence, abuse and anti-social behaviour by encouraging them to back an amendment to a flagship Government crime bill which would offer frontline workers greater protection. The call for stiffer penalties for those committing assaults and attacks on shopworkers comes as a new report “Breaking the Cycle: Gaining the views of criminal justice practitioners and retail offenders on effective sentencing” is launched. The research – written by Dr Emmeline Taylor and funded through the Co-op’s Safer Colleagues, Safer Communities, campaign –  offers a response to the White Paper “A Smarter Approach to Sentencing and the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill”, and provides clear opportunities to encourage Government to legislate to protect and support shopworkers.

90% of retail workers suffered abuse at work last year, union finds

ALMOST 90 per cent of retail workers suffered abuse at work last year, their union says. An Usdaw survey of 2,729 shop workers published today found that 88 per cent experienced verbal abuse, 61 per cent were threatened by a customer and nine per cent were assaulted. Shop workers reported that they are dealing with everything from being threatened with being stabbed after work to being grabbed by the neck and pushed against the wall. Retail workers argued that the pandemic has brought out the worst behaviour in people, with many fielding abuse for limiting items during the lockdown and for making people queue and wear a mask.
