Black Lives Matter buttons
nixed at Burgerville
Burgerville Workers Union re-
ports that the Vancouver-based
fast food chain has threatened
to discipline workers for wear-
ing union-made “Black Lives
Matter” and “Justice for
George Floyd” buttons.
This is not the first time
Burgerville has threatened to
discipline workers for wearing
buttons. In September 2018,
the union won back pay for 10
workers sent home after wear-
ing “Black Lives Matter” and
other political buttons. Shortly
after, Burgerville announced a
new anti-button policy without
consulting the union. The pol-
icy prohibits employees from
wearing any buttons not pro-
duced by Burgerville or “re-
lated to terms and conditions
of employment.”
Burgerville backtracked af-
ter online backlash, and said it
would produce its own Black
Lives Matter accessories for
workers to wear if they
choose—buttons, T-shirts, and
stickers that align with its uni-
form standards.
