FED-up staff at a Glasgow bar have voted unanimously for industrial action after an angry sit-in protest failed to force management to meet their pay demands.
It revealed that 100% are dissatisfied with the way their long-running grievance has been handled, that 82% are upset with their contracts, that every employee is dissatisfied with their pay and that all of them are now prepared to take legal and industrial action. “While some progress has since been made on pay and the grievance, we still have an owner who refuses to recognise the union which represents 95% of her workforce.
He added: “We want constructive talks, and although our members have made their feelings crystal clear and are now prepared to move to formal industrial action or a legal claim, we are still here if the owners want to try and avoid this happening.” “All of the staff have guaranteed minimum hours of work, apart from sound engineers who are freelance and work for various venues. They do not work on zero-hours contracts, which is a particular type of contract which many businesses use to get around their obligations. These have never been used by 13th Note. The staff are all paid more than the minimum wage and have always been entitled to paid breaks.
