Bulmers fires 8 workers over YouTube antics

BULMERS has fired eight of its staff for “serious health and safety breaches” that were captured on a mobile phone and published on the YouTube website.

The dismissed staff lost their jobs after footage taken at the Annerville, Clonmel, plant revealed workers wearing high-visibility vests jumping into moving forklifts, setting driverless vehicles moving across the warehouse floor before sprinting after them, spraying fire-extinguishers and somersaulting from stacks of crates onto cardboard boxes.

They even found time to hold a penalty shoot-out which was also captured in the footage.
