BREWDOG bosses have been accused of orchestrating a toxic culture of bullying of staff at a dozen bars, including one in Aberdeen.
Dozens of the craft ale giant’s workers have signed a formal grievance with Unite the Union, which alleges that people who have attempted to improve conditions have been “sacked or forced out”.

On the eve of the firm’s AGM in Ellon tomorrow [June 29th], the signatories are urging management to change their ways and to bring in an independent person to address what they say are a raft of problems.
Among the most serious allegations in the new letter are that “workers are being put at serious risk of electrocution” in cellars with wet floors and exposed wires, while others are having to serve customers without running water.
A total of 69 people BrewDog staff have signed the letter – including seven staff from the Union Square bar in Aberdeen.
Unite has sent the letter to BrewDog’s new CEO James Arrow.
Ellon-based BrewDog is one of the north-east’s biggest employers and employs thousands of people at bars around the world.
