Famed Northalsted nightclub Berlin has closed after a boycott called by newly-unionized bar staff who were seeking higher wages, healthcare, and a voice in the nightclub's operations.
The closure announcement on Instagram did not directly reference the union campaign or boycott, but mentioned increased expenses as a reason for closing.
The closure comes after bar staff voted to unionize with hospitality union Unite Here Local 1 in April and called for a boycott in October over stalled contract negotiations.
