Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News: Glasgow Film Theatre lets BDS thugs win - in violation of their own anti-bullying policies

From The Herald (Scotland):

Coca-Cola will no longer be served at the Glasgow Film Theatre after objections from staff.

Last week, workers at the cinema announced they would not be handling any goods connected to the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement.

Coca-Cola products are part of that list and the cinema will now take them out of use for the duration of the film festival.

The theatre knuckled under to the workers. Their statement about it showed how cowardly they are, by saying that they are considering letting the hate group tell them how to do their business.

But reading their statement you can see that they are really afraid of violence from the Israel haters:

A spokesperson for the Glasgow Film Theatre said: "On Monday 24th February Unite the Union staff alerted us they would refuse to sell Coca-Cola and Diet Coke from 28th February. At this stage our Board of Trustees had started but not completed a review of the Unite staff requests. The goal of the review is to ensure that any decisions made do not infringe our legal and charitable obligations and that all staff can have their voice heard.

"We decided to halt the sales before completion of our formal review as we identified the risk of potential confrontations that could impact the welfare and wellbeing of all staff and customers during the charity’s busiest time of year. Therefore, GFT has agreed the temporary removal of Coca-Cola and Diet Coke until the end of Glasgow Film Festival.

In plain English, they are saying that if they go through proper procedures to evaluate their vendors, they are afraid of violence during the film festival. What else might impact the wellbeing of customers?

This behavior by the union directly violates Glasgow Film's own policies against bullying:

The BDS-supporting union threatened to disrupt the film festival. They intimidated the theatre to accede to their demands. The literally refuse to complete the tasks that are part of their job, and they are undermining the authority of the Theatre. The actions of the union fit exactly under Theatre's definition of bullying.
