The owner of Brewers Fayre is reportedly set to cut around 1,500 jobs across the UK, with plans to shut more than 100 restaurants. Unite are claiming that many of the workers who could be affected have not been told which sites will close.
Hospitality giant Whitbread has been slammed by a trade union over reports they are planning to cut around 200 jobs across Scotland.
This is despite claims that redundancies could take place as soon as July 4, with the union claiming Whitbread have failed to properly consult workers, with some employees fearing that they could lose homes tied to their workplaces, reports the Daily Record. However, union bosses say they have informed Whitbread that they are considering launching employment tribunal claims for unfair dismissal for affected workers from restaurants including Brewers Fayre, Table Table and Beefeater outlets.
"Despite refusing to answer questions from their workers and their union, the company now wishes to bulldoze through a consultation process which has been neither genuine nor meaningful with the first terminations happening on 4th July. "As the union for Whitbread workers, we will be doing everything we can to challenge these unnecessary job losses - and win maximum compensation for our members who are unfairly dismissed.”
