3 ResponsesWorking hard at Bulmers no more: They’re Fired
We all laughed at the guys fucking around on forklifts in Bulmers. Well, they got fired:
Cider company Bulmers, based in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, has confirmed that it has fired eight workers over a YouTube video.
The workers were fired for what it described as serious health and safety breaches that were filmed on a mobile phone and shown on the website.
The men were seen jumping into a moving forklift, turning on vehicles and allowing them to move on the warehouse floor without drivers, spraying fire extinguishers and somersaulting from stacks of crates onto cardboard boxes.
The video is removed from youtube, and it looks like Bulmers have been doing damage limitation:

There’s other maybe better cider for sale!
It’s been re-posted a number of times by some other users, they can’t keep this type of thing hidden once it hit the Net.
It is a great video, I think getting the sack is a bit harsh, but to be fair to Bulmers they had to do something.
Would be the best publicity stunt of all time if it was just a joke though.
