Senator Murray addressed the Senate on September 27, 2024, to discuss Senate Bill 8358C. This bill aims to establish the Retail Worker Safety Act, which would mandate that employers in the retail sector create and enforce programs designed to prevent workplace violence.
"Senate Bill 8358C is crucial for ensuring the safety of our retail workers," stated Senator Murray during her speech. "By requiring employers to develop and implement these programs, we can significantly reduce incidents of workplace violence."
The proposed legislation focuses on creating a safer work environment for those employed in retail, addressing concerns that have been increasingly highlighted in recent years.
"Retail workers face unique challenges and risks," added Senator Murray. "This bill will provide them with necessary protections and support."
If passed, the Retail Worker Safety Act will compel retail employers to take proactive measures in safeguarding their employees from potential harm.
