Trendy Scots pub firm Macmerry 'falsely accused' union staff member of harassment
30.03.2022 - 19:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A trendy Scots pub firm has been accused of making up harassment allegations against a staff member after suspending a union leader for a month and a half.
Ross Campbell says he was frogmarched out of the Abandon Ship Bar in Glasgow's Mitchell Street in February by Macmerry 300 Ltd's John Lynch in front of shocked colleagues.

The hospitality worker said: "From the moment of my suspension I knew that the company wanted me out.
"I was raising too many issues about unpaid holidays, pensions and tax on behalf of my colleagues.
"Their 'evidence' was full of holes, there were no signed statements from managers or members of staff.
"They just wanted to kill any chance of unionisation or anyone talking about it with staff."
He added: "For the first two and a half weeks after I was suspended, I wasn't eating or sleeping.
"I barely left my room, and was overthinking the entire situation. They had me doubting myself."
