A spokesperson for the union said: “This is yet another example of a company that doesn’t have the slightest regard for basic employment law let alone the welfare of their workers.
However, the chain said it is looking to redeploy many of those affected.
A Brewdog spokesman said: “We can confirm that following a review of our bars business we have made the difficult decision to close 10 bars – which reflects a more focused strategy and a rationalisation of our bar footprint.
“We are working hard to minimise the impact on our people, and we expect to redeploy many affected team members across the Brewdog network. For those leaving the business, we’re providing as much support as possible during this transition.”
Latest in line of controversies at Brewdog
In 2021, ex-workers wrote an open letter about what they said was a “culture of fear” within the business, while later, several ex-Brewdog workers accused founder and former CEO James Watt of inappropriate behaviour in a BBC investigation.
In January 2024 the firm faced a backlash after revealing it would no longer hire new staff on the real living wage and would instead pay the lower legal minimum wage.
Mr Watt stood down as CEO last year. He moved to a position of “captain and co-founder” but retained his shares in the company.
