Usdaw calls on MSPs to back the Protection of Workers Bill

Retail union Usdaw released shocking statistics from its annual survey showing that an average Scottish shopworker is verbally abused, threatened or assaulted 17 times a year and called on the Scottish government to back the Protection of Workers Bill promoted by the Labour MSP for Edinburgh Southern, Daniel Johnson. If it becomes law, the bill will provide extra protection for shop staff, including those who sell age-restricted items.
