VICTORY: Governor Kathy Hochul just signed the #RetailWorkerSafety Act into law! This first-of-its-kind bill requires corporate retail employers to adopt a violence prevention plan, train workers in de-escalation and active shooters, and large employers must install panic buttons.

Thanks to Governor Kathy Hochul, Bill Sponsors Jessica Ramos and Assembly Member Karines Reyes, R.N., and all the co-sponsors for their work getting this bill signed! “Retail workers should not go to work every day in fear, this law goes a long way toward ending that," says RWDSU Prez Stuart Appelbaum

The Retail Worker Safety Act, now signed into law, will make stores safer not only for our retail workers, but also for the customers they serve. Congratulations RWDSU & ❤️ to the legislative champions Jessica Ramos Harry B. Bronson
