The iconic Merchant City bar shut last summer, leaving 18 staff members unemployed. They took former management to a tribunal and won a claim that they weren't consulted on shock redundancies.
Staff at the 13th Note bar in Glasgow have lodged their formal bid to take over the venue after they were made redundant last summer when the bar suddenly closed.
The popular Merchant City venue announced it was shutting in July last year after 21 years, leaving 18 members of staff unemployed, with the announcement coming days after staff went on strike over wages and safety concerns. Staff took their former employer to a tribunal and won their protective award claim after bosses failed to consult with them before making the shock redundancies. The tribunal has ruled that the workers be paid for 90 days of service.READ MORE: Tartan Army jet off to Germany from Glasgow Airport for Scotland's first Euros match
