BEVERLY — The Buona Beef franchise is doing damage control after a viral video showed members of the Buonavolanto family harassing union members and spraying protesters with a garden hose.

On Tuesday in suburban Berwyn, Buona Beef's Joseph J. Buonavolanto and Jim Buonavolanto confronted union picketers who were criticizing their family's business for not hiring union workers.

"F------ losers, dude," one of the Buonavolantos can be heard saying to union members in one of two viral videos captured outside the chain's west suburban restaurant.

Finn said it was the use of such non-union labor in Buona Beef's construction of new restaurants
Downtown as well as in south suburban Frankfort, Homewood and Oak Lawn that initially drew the union pickets.

Shredded little bits of what may be beef. (too small to tell) Now I have another reason not to go there. Remember to show support for striking auto mechanics 701 when driving by picket lines . HONK-WAVE.
