Help save Easter for retail workers!

Dear member, 

MPs will vote on Wednesday 14 March on the first of two bills liberalising trading at Easter. The Dean Bill would allow all shops to open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Please help us to protect Easter for family and community. Please support shop workers’ rights to a long weekend. Please click on the link below and send an email to one or more MPs to let them know your views.

 The following MPs voted for or abstained on this Bill at its first reading and have advised us of a change of view. It looks like a long list but we are confident that many of these MPs do not intend to support the Bill through its remaining stages. Make sure they don’t by sending emails today. Thanks for your help.
