Unionization and Demands for Safety and Training

Following the unionization of Berlin employees, demands were made for better pay, improved equipment, and more training, particularly in regards to security issues. The union emphasized the need for trained personnel to ensure safety in the wake of incidents such as the shootings in Colorado Springs and Pulse Nightclub. Specific demands included violence training for at least one staff member per shift, improvements to the security vestibule, and better wages for employees who reportedly earned minimum wage with limited access to healthcare.
