Unions have a unique role to play in countering the far right. Our commitment to equality, is to ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. We have stood strong against racist and fascist threats before and we will do so again #Usdaw25 usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/ad…

Proud to support UsdawUnion’s Freedom from Fear campaign - tackling violence and abuse against shopworkers. Retail crime impacts us all and for workers it can’t be just “part of the job”. Pleased The Labour Party is taking action via the Crime and Policing Bill to protect workers.
