Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle is supporting shopworkers who have formed Usdaw United Against Abuse (UUAA) after a survey found 95 per cent of retail staff have been verbally abused by customers.
UUAA teams will hand out red cards across the UK, reminding shoppers that verbal abuse is a form of intimidation.
Mr Hoyle said: "I'm shocked that one million shopworkers are verbally abused every day."
