Staff at a popular Glasgow west end bar and restaurant have had their hourly wages lowered, according to a union.The Ashton Lane bar is owned by Itison, who disputes claims of a pay cut.
One told BBC Scotland: "We've made it clear to the appeal manager that this decision to retract the Real Living Wage has damaged workers financially, as well as damaging the company and its reputation.However they said a grievance meeting on Wednesday was "very positive" as staff needed to seek assurances that the company was willing to reconsider its decision.
Bryan Simpson, lead hospitality organiser for Unite Hospitality, said: "Following a productive appeal meeting with Itison's finance controller, we are confident that a clear and unequivocal case has been made that our members at Brel deserve the Real Living Wage."
