RESPECT IN CRAFT BEER

Because it has to be said, LOUD and CLEAR:

 

We WILL NOT tolerate harassment and abuse towards our staff.

WINTERLONG is a SAFE SPACE for all genders, races, sexual-orientations, and abilities.

WE will REFUSE service if you are being inappropriate, offensive or abusive towards staff or other customers.

We will DISCIPLINE staff for not following our Policy on Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination.

 

WHY IS THIS NOT A GIVEN? WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO A BLOG POST, SOCIAL MEDIA POST & SIGNAGE ABOUT THIS? WHY ARE WE YELLING?

 

Because Enough is Enough!

 

It is NOT acceptable to make sexual, sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, biphobic, ableist comments HERE or ANYWHERE.

We provide a safe workplace where people can express themselves however they choose in a respectful way.

We can all do better, by listening and standing in support of people sharing their experiences, calling out bad behaviour and damaging language (no matter how seemingly benign).

If you are wondering why there is a post about this now.  It is because we are in another watershed moment, with sweeping accusations across the industry.  Check out the latest CRAFT BEER NEWS, and check out @ratmagnet on Instagram for the amazing work she is doing to broadcast people’s stories of sexism, racism and harassment.
