April 1st 2017 : BBC employees are fuming after their staff canteen banned meat from its menu on Mondays – with workers accusing the corporation of ‘forcing its agenda’ on them.
An internal message revealed ‘meat free Mondays’ will be introduced this week at the BBC North staff restaurant in Quay House in MediaCity, Salford.
The intranet memo says the change has been introduced for environmental and health reasons.
Chefs, staff were told, are ‘prepared to whip up some delicious meat-free alternatives’ for ‘carnivore’ staff members.
