13th Note workers bid to take over venue

SACKED staff at Glasgow’s 13th Note have formally submitted their bid to take the bar into workers’ control.

The bar, once popular as a live venue, was the scene of a lockout when anti-trade union business-owner Jacqueline Fennessy put it into liquidation amid a bitter dispute with members of Unite’s hospitality branch over pay and unsafe working conditions.

Since then, the sacked workers have not only won compensation from their former employer, but set about forming a workers’ co-op to take on the lease.
