Respect for Shopworkers Week10 October 2008
Usdaw’s Freedom From Fear Campaign seeks to prevent violence, threats and abuse against shopworkers. This year we are organising a Respect for Shopworkers Week to highlight these important issues and raise awareness amongst shopworkers, customers, employers and politicians. Respect for Shopworkers Week – 3 - 7 November 2008 This year’s campaign highlights the problems in the run-up to Christmas. Lots of members have told me that incidents of verbal abuse increase dramatically during the festive period. Customers are stressed, stores are really busy and sometimes things can boil over. So our campaign asks shoppers to:
Keep Your Cool at Christmas – Respect ShopworkersThe Freedom From Fear Campaign has so far delivered many gains for our members. These achievements were only possible because of the tremendous support the campaign has received from reps, activists and members across the country. Please see the briefing on the campaign achievements. I am writing to ask you to get involved this year and help deliver a high-profile campaign in your area. Here are three things you can do: 1. Use the retail staff survey to gather evidence from members and non-members and help with your recruitment and retention activities. 2. Organise a stall on or near Friday 7 November 2008 and order materials using the Campaign Materials Order Form. 3. Ask your MP to support our campaign by joining you at your stall. For more details on how to get involved in these activities, please see the Campaign briefings. I hope that you are able to help. For further information please do not hesitate to contact David Williams or Ruth George in the Politics Office on 0161 249 2452. Best wishes. Yours sincerely
