That the Parliament recognises Respect for Shopworkers Week 2020, which runs from 16 to 22 November; commends USDAW for organising and promoting the week; welcomes cross-party support for the Protection of Workers (Retail and Age-restricted Goods and Services) (Scotland) Bill; recognises that, in this of all years, shopworkers have demonstrated the vital role that they play in ensuring people have access to food and other goods, and considers that, in recognition of this, it is an appropriate time to ensure that shops are closed on New Year’s Day to give shopworkers a well-deserved rest day for their work both throughout the year and during the busy festive period.
