Unite Hospitality members strike outside 13th Note in Glasgow
WORKERS at Glasgow’s 13th Note bar have become the first in 20 years to take strike action, their union said today.

The bar remained padlocked as dozens of trade unionists – including retired members – descended on Unite’s picket to show solidarity with young workers in a sector with notoriously poor conditions and low union density.
