"At the Convention Center Burgerville, staff walked off this morning as part of a BVWU strike after months of slow bargaining; earlier this year workers at this location accused the company of union-busting, alleging unusually harsh punishments such as the alleged suspension of an eight-months-pregnant worker for leaving her nametag at home, which Burgerville denies. The union says progress has been made on tips and holiday pay but remains frustrated with wages and the pace of negotiations, and is striking until it has “sufficiently demonstrated their strength to the company.”" - Tim Forster
