#Usdaw very much welcomes the strong commitment from Yvette Cooper to amend #Government legislation and introduce a new law to protect shopworkers #FreedomFromFear #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
My #BlackFriday message to shoppers is clear. Enjoy your bargain hunting, keep your cool and respect shopworkers #FreedomFromFear usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
Today the #Chancellor delivered an Autumn Statement which was long on spin and short on the change our members so desperately need usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
The #Chancellor is deluded when he claims that this #minimumwage increase fulfils their manifesto pledge to end low pay #NewDeal4Workers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
I have written to the #Chancellor ahead of the #AutumnStatement warning of the impact on retail and jobs if he presses ahead with a widely reported rise in business rates #SaveOurShops usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
Privilege to speak UsdawUnion regional conf Paddy Lillis & Clare Moody
With shoplifting + retail worker abuse up & insecure work impact Labour will act:
New Deal for Working People
Offence for retail worker assaults
Tackling issues that make work hard inc costs & NHS waits
It is shocking that two-thirds of our members working in retail are suffering abuse from customers, with far too many experiencing threats and violence #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
Today’s King’s Speech confirms that the #Government will fail to deliver on their manifesto commitment to bring forward an employment bill that could improve the rights of low-paid key workers. We need a general election now! usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
LISTEN: Usdaw General Secretary Paddy Lillis spoke to LBC’s Shelagh Fogarty about the devastating impact of shoplifting and violent incidents on our members #FreedomFromFear (Interview starts at 2:07:41)

With two more historic by election wins for Labour, it couldn’t be clearer - there are no more safe Conservative seats.
A Labour Government will deliver the change that people across Britain want and need.
#GeneralElectionNow
#CrimeStats This 25% increase in shoplifting is further evidence that we are facing an epidemic of retail crime, which is hugely concerning #FreedomFromFear #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
#Inflation The Chancellor’s assertion that ‘people have more money in their pockets’ shows that he is totally out of touch with the real lives of workers #CostOfLivingCrisis usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
The ongoing #CostOfLivingCrisis remains a key challenge for the #AutumnStatement - the #Chancellor needs to look at lasting solutions with: a #NewDeal4Workers - reform of #UniversalCredit and action to #SaveOurShops usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…
Great to chair a discussion at The Labour Party Conference on the crime faced by shop workers and retailers with
