Hundreds raised for staff 'sacked' from Glasgow cafe forced to close amid dispute

Hundreds of pounds have been raised to help workers who were allegedly fired from a popular Glasgow cafe for 'organising'.

Three workers at Saramago Cafe and Bar said they were sacked in the middle of their shifts after organising to increase the number of staff rota'd on in the kitchen and front of house to stop themselves from being overworked.

Following their dismissal, a campaign to have them reinstated by Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) was launched. Over five weeks, a series of protests were held outside the Sauchiehall Street venue but a resolution was still to be reached when landlords at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) decided to close the cafe with immediate effect.
