Cider company Bulmers, based in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, has confirmed that it has fired eight workers over a YouTube video.

From rte.ie

Bulmers workers fired over 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.

Those involved are all experienced, full-time workers.

The video was called 'Working Hard for Bulmers' and was set to the tune of the mobile phone ringtone 'banana phone'.

A spokeswoman said the company had almost 500 staff and jeopardising the safety of its employees would not be tolerated.

SIPTU, which represents the staff, said it would not be appealing the decision unless asked to do so by individual employee

I assume the guy doing the moonwalk was in other parts of the video too? ( I wasnt minidng who was who) It would be well harsh to get fired for beign filmed doing a moonwalk.
