Thousands of pounds have been raised in support of Glasgow bar workers who claim they were sacked for unionising.
Campaigners allege three Saramago Bar staff were dismissed in the middle of their shifts after 'organising' to increase the number of staff.
However, Saramago insists claims staff were fired for unionising are untrue, claiming "the IWW is not an organisation that the majority of staff are affiliated with, and is not a recognised union in the UK or affiliated with the TUC". They said: "These unfair dismissals and poor treatment of workers are not acceptable and we will withdraw our custom from Saramago until the situation is resolved.
The spokesperson for Saramago Bar explained: "The current situation at Saramago - which management has been attempting to address for many months - has been significantly misrepresented in recent coverage with many of the claims being made clearly libellous. "The action occurred specifically because the owners and management had not responded to a letter from the group of employees within their proscribed 48 hour deadline. At no point did this group of employees let the owners or managers know that there would be a consequence to them not responding within their deadline, and at no point did these employees declare any union membership or any potential for union action.
