One in ten shopworkers has been assaulted!

Nearly one third of them don’t report it - an Usdaw survey reveals

Usdaw’s annual respect week, 14 - 20 November, is when the union’s reps and members organise awareness events as part of the Freedom from Fear Campaign, which seeks to prevent verbal abuse, threats and violent attacks at work.
