It's claimed workers have been forced to deal with 'human faeces', bouncers reportedly failing to ban 'predatory customers', and 'dangerous levels of black mould'
Unite Hospitality, which represents 75% of staff at the venue, shared an excerpt of the letter on social media on Monday night, demanding action to rectify what they referred to as “an array of health and safety issues” as well as “failure to provide adequate rest breaks, contracts, holiday and sick pay”.
Despite having sent the document one week ago, Unite Hospitality claim they have received no correspondence from owner Mr Cardow.The union further said that signatories have been “removed from the rota and told that they don't have a job anymore”, in a move that has been branded “trade union victimisation pure and simple”.
Bryan Simpson, of Unite Hospitality, said: “Any decent employer who cares about the welfare of his staff would be falling over themselves to meet with his workforce to seek resolution. “Instead, a week after receiving a plethora of serious complaints from 75% of staff, the owner of broadcast Paul Cardow has ignored attempts to engage collectively, appointed lawyers and even [terminated] signatories.
“This is trade union victimisation, and until Mr Cardow sits down with his workforce, we shall be escalating this campaign at Broadcast industrially and legally.”
