PORTLAND — Burgerville says it’s banning employees from wearing buttons with statements and any other non-work-approved items on their uniforms after 10 workers at a Northeast Portland branch were sent home in August for wearing pro-immigration pins.
The fast-food business announced Thursday that it’s updating its written uniform policy so it “represents our long-standing commitment to creating a universally welcoming and inclusive environment for our customers and employees alike,” according to a statement from Burgerville Human Resources Director Liz Graham.
