LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. – Health inspectors made an interesting discovery recently at a Burger King — they found “sleeping/living accommodations” and suspected foreign workers were sleeping in the basement, according to the Canadian Press, which is a health code violation.
The owner of the Lethbridge, Alta., location, denied the accusations, said Burger King: “However, we will continue to ensure compliance with our high operational standards.”
The mattresses and furniture were eventually removed, and the franchise was ordered not to let people sleep on the premises.
A subsequent inspection by the Ministry of Labour found no health and safety or employment standards issues.
