This win for worker safety goes to the SDA Union Tasmania who have been tirelessly campaigning for greater protections from abuse for retail workers.

This weekend's announcement on workplace protection orders is a major milestone in our fight to keep SDA members safe in your workplaces.

The SDA Tasmania Branch has been calling for these protections for years, and we welcome the state government's commitment to consult on this important reform.

We will continue working to ensure the final laws deliver real safety for SDA members in your workplace.
