Staff at one of Scotland's biggest nightclubs have lodged a grievance over working conditions and health and safety issues.

Several workers at the Cathouse rock club in Glasgow city centre have signed a collective complaint listing 48 separate issues, according to the Unite union.

Cathouse owners Hold Fast Entertainment said the accusations made against them were "grossly inaccurate".

Hold Fast Entertainment said the allegations relating to working conditions were "in many cases historic and where problems were identified, were resolved immediately".

A spokesperson added: "We have continually offered to meet our employees and we have provided a detailed response last month to the grievance.

"We have a proud 35-year record of running our business collaboratively with our employees.

"We have won many awards and widespread praise for our approach to customer welfare and to health and safety."

The Cathouse launched in 1990 in the now-demolished Hollywood Studios building on Brown Street in Glasgow.

It moved to its current site on Union street in 1997.
