08:28 AM EDT, 08/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A US government labor watchdog accused Chipotle Mexican Grill ( CMG ) of refusing to give raise to employees who opted to unionize in violation of the law, Bloomberg reported Monday.

The US National Labor Relations Board's general counsel said that the food retailer illegally barred employees at its sole unionized US restaurant from raises, Bloomberg reported.

The federal agency plans to begin formal legal measures against the company unless it settles with the employees, Bloomberg reported.

Chipotle did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
