Scots waitress sacked by pancake chain for 'tweets about joining trade unions'

An ex-waitress at a ­pancake restaurant has claimed she was sacked because she is a Labour Party member and trade unionist.

Lauren Harper, 20, worked for Stack & Still in Glasgow when she was abruptly let go, with managers ­saying her views “did not align with the ­company”. She later found out bosses had trawled her social media account where she ­discussed trade union ­activism.

Firm CEO Paul ­Reynolds cited ­Lauren’s tweets including ones where she ­encouraged others to join a trade union. Lauren joined Stack & Still’s West George Street branch on October 12 and was sacked on November 6.
