You can’t say the bar won’t unionize and then claim to support the workers right to organize a union, refuse to recognize their bargaining unit and then blame the government shutdown to save face. The queer and labor communities backed the workers the whole way. This is all on the boss.
The future of The SunTrapp, widely considered the oldest and longest running gay bar in Utah, is “not certain,” according to its Friday night social post.
