GMB in Seventh Heaven


Dancers and staff at Glasgow lap-dancing venue Seventh Heaven will now have their pay and conditions covered by collective bargaining after the GMB general union signed a recognition agreement with the employer.


The union says the agreement is an industry first in Scotland and will cover all aspects of the workers’ employment contract, including annual pay negotiations, disciplinary and grievance procedures and health and safety.


GMB Scotland organiser Rhea Wolfson said: “This is bread and butter trade unionism, and if people look beyond the intrigue they’ll see this agreement gives our members a framework to collectively bargain over their terms and conditions of employment – the same as it would in any other workplace.”


She added that the deal was “good news for our campaign to improve standards across the wider adult entertainment sector in Glasgow.”
