“Thousands of shop workers are contacting us to say they now fear for their safety" Today, we have launched our respect retail campaign to tackle the increasing abuse faced by our retail colleagues daily. Here’s why it’s time to join our campaign and report abusive incidents so colleagues can get the support they need. “Every day we’re hearing from people who have been shouted at, spat on, threatened or hit at work, sometimes several times a week. As a country and a society, we must get better at ending this terrible behaviour, making sure every incident is recorded and acted upon, and above all, ensuring that our colleagues across the country get the protection and support they need. Our message at the Retail Trust is clear. Abuse is never part of anyone’s job, and if you’re a retail worker encountering abuse, threats or violence, please do report this to your manager and call the Retail Trust’s wellbeing helpline on 0808 801 0808 if you need any support dealing with your experiences.” - Chris Brook Carter Join our campaign to #RespectRetail and stop the intolerance epidemic: bit.ly/retail-trust-respect-… #intoleranceepidemic #harassment #workplaceharassment #righttobesafe #retail #retailtrust #hope #health #happiness #worldkindnessday #retailindustry @CBC90 *Credit: BBC Breakfast
