Keep Sunday Trading Laws as they are
We the undersigned wish to express our outrage at the proposed changes to Sunday Trading Laws during the forthcoming London Olympics. This shows a total disregard to all retail and distribution workers.
A survey of over 10,000 Usdaw members completed in April last year found that:
• 91% opposed large shops being able to open all hours on a Sunday
• 95% thought the current ban on large shops opening on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday should continue.
• 47% have caring responsibilities for children, elderly relatives or others that make it difficult to work on a Sunday.
Deregulation would do little to stimulate growth or create jobs, but would have a very detrimental impact on the lives of millions of shopworkers and their families. Any change would fly totally in the face of the government’s commitment to be family-friendly
