Staff at a Glasgow bar have voted to go on strike in a dispute over working conditions and pay.
The industrial action at the King Street bar in the city centre will be the first official strike voted for by bar workers in 20 years, with Unite the Union confirming 100 per cent of staff voted for strike action on a majority turnout.
Staff filed a collective grievance with 13th Note bosses over several allegations, including mice infestations. Unite Hospitality further accused owners of ignoring concerns over sanitation, health and safety and staff contracts in March.

In May of this year, 13th Note was ordered to close after environmental health officers visited the café following a video emerging showing a mouse scurrying around the tables.
Staff have also called for the implementation of the Real Living Wage for all staff, despite 13th Note claiming all staff are "paid above the living wage".
In a statement on Twitter, Unite Hospitality said: "Our members at @13thnotecafe have voted overwhelmingly for strike action: 100% yes vote on a majority turnout.
"We would urge the employer to negotiate seriously on pay, conditions & recognition to prevent the first official strike of bar workers in 20+ years"
13th Note owner Jacqueline Fennessy said: "Unite the Union do not have 100% support for strike action from 13th Note staff.
"Only 10 union members actually voted in the ballot, out of 17 union members eligible. There are no health and safety concerns.
"All staff are paid above the living wage."
