Burgerville Employees Walked Out of Restaurants Friday to Protest Bad-Faith Bargaining | Eater Portland

"At the Montavilla Burgerville I observed that employees joined a multi-store walkout—part of the first strike since September 2018—to demand higher wages and protest what the union calls bad-faith bargaining, with the company canceling a scheduled bargaining meeting amid the dispute. Like the other affected stores, Montavilla kept drive-thru service for several hours after the morning walkout before shutting down in the evening; the union insists any day the company refuses to bring real proposals can become a strike day, while Burgerville highlights steps such as adding tipping and says it’s gathering feedback and ideas to improve negotiations." - Alex Frane
