SANDRA OSBORNE - Labour MP for Ayr Constituency - is backing Usdaw - the shopworkers' union - in their campaign to protect shop staff from violence and abuse at work.

She said:

"It is outrageous that shop staff should have to put up with abuse and sometimes even violence from some customers.

"support Usdaw's Campaign and I am urging the Scottish Executive to make retail crime a priority for the police.

"I also urge local retailers, the police and South Ayrshire Council to work in partnership to help to make our shopping areas safer for both shopworkers and the general public."
