Ken MacIntosh MSP said:
"Betting is to the majority of people a source of pleasure and harmless fun. However in recent years their has been an increase in assaults and abuse towards betting shop staff. This is not acceptable and I welcome the campaign launched by the Community Union to highlight this worrying problem.”
Ken and Community- the union representing betting shop staff - launched a campaign to combat assault and the abuse of betting shop staff in Scotland. The launch of the safety poster campaign took place at the Morrison’s betting shop in Barrhead, kicking off a series of events which will be held throughout Scotland to get the message across.
