"Workers at a Reserve Roastery in New York City walked off beginning October 26, alleging management refused to address a bedbug infestation and that there was mold in the ice machines. Company representatives initially denied the claims, but New York state inspectors subsequently found mold in the ice machine. The 46-day strike concluded after the union secured a thorough bedbug inspection and remediation, improved health and safety training, and a higher cadence of maintenance and cleaning at the cafe." - Amy McCarthy
