Applauding Retail Workers
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the commitment and effort of retail workers during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak; understands that there have been great pressures placed on them by a marked increase in footfall and greater responsibilities to keep customers and staff safe through social distancing; appreciates the work being done by the trade union, USDAW, in raising vital PPE concerns with employers; notes the good practice guide produced by the British Retail Consortium for retailers across the UK, and applauds the retail stores in the Edinburgh South constituency and across Scotland in their swift adoption of the government guidance and the efforts of the retail industry as a whole at this difficult time in keeping the economy moving.
