Freedom From Fear Campaign (No. 2)

EDM number 2209 in 2007-08, proposed by Brian Jenkins on 08/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Anti-social behaviour, Crimes of violence, Industrial health and safety, Service industries and Personal injury.

That this House congratulates the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw) on its groundbreaking Freedom from Fear campaign, which seeks to prevent violence, threats and abuse against shopworkers; notes with concern that two thirds of shop staff have been abused in the last year and nearly 10 per cent. have suffered physical assault, with the major cause of assaults being trolley rage by abusive customers; requests hon. Members to support Usdaw's Respect for Shopworkers Week on 3rd to 7th November, which asks customers to `keep your cool at Christmas'; and urges all hon. Members to help retailers and their staff to call upon the support of local police and of anti-social behaviour units to tackle violent offenders and persistent abusers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 118 MPs.
