A TESCO worker told today of how the experience of being threatened with a gun still gives her flashbacks as the Usdaw annual conference backed an end to the outsourcing of shop security guards.

Supporting the motion, Fenland Tesco delegate Jacqueline Ibbott said that a man had pulled a gun on her while she was at work in the spring of 2023.

“This man was taken down by police at 10 o’clock on Sunday morning. To this day, I still have flashbacks,” she said, adding that she had come within five feet of the gunman in court 18 months later.
