Ferry workers are threatening strike action over fears for their pay and conditions, if state owned ferry services are privatised. The government is preparing to put routes operated by Caledonian MacBrayne out to tender. The RMT union is worried private companies will 'cherry pick' the busiest services. And in other news, Fife's Chief Constable is claiming that a strategy of taking policing closer to the community has made the Kingdom the safest it's been in her force's sixty two year history. Presenting her annual report, Norma Graham today revealed that recorded crime in Fife has almost halved in the last seven years with nearly 17,000 fewer crimes. In sport, Dundee United get their Europa League campaign underway against Dinamo Moscow at Tannadice tonight.
