Burgerville has its tray full with unions. Just as the regional fast-food chain has set a date to start contract negotiations for its first restaurant to unionize, employees at another one organized over the weekend.

Employees at Burgerville Store No. 8, 19119 S.E. McLoughlin Blvd., Portland, voted 17-5 over the weekend to band together and collectively negotiate contracts. Five workers abstained from voting.

The newly organized workers say they want $5 more per hour in wages, better health benefits and improved policies for scheduling and parental leave.

Their union also asks Burgerville to not use E-Verify, a software platform that can check immigration status. Burgerville representatives said they do not use E-Verify and to their knowledge never have.

The unionization comes about three weeks after another store in Southeast Portland voted to unionize, capping a two-year effort to become the first federally recognized fast-food union in the country.
