Teamsters union authorizes potential strike at Anheuser-Busch
Fox Business ^ | 12/18/23 | Eric Revell

The Teamsters union announced Saturday that its members overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike against Anheuser-Busch’s breweries in the U.S. if the union and beermaker are unable to reach an agreement on a new labor contract early next year.

The union said that of the 5,000 Teamsters members who work at 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries in the U.S., 99% voted to authorize a strike if the two sides don’t secure a new labor contract raising wages, protecting jobs and securing benefits. The union’s current contract expires on Feb. 29, 2024.

"Teamsters stand firm in our fight for the best contract at Anheuser-Busch, and this powerful strike vote proves it," said Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien. "Our members’ labor, talent, and sacrifice are what put Anheuser-Busch products on the shelf, and we are committed to getting a contract that rewards and recognizes their hard work."

"If Anheuser-Busch’s executives can’t get their act together to negotiate an agreement that respects workers, we will see them out on the streets," O’Brien added.

Poor, poor A/B. They are not having a good year. Not at all. Next week, to top off their year, they will probably find a few of those evil lumps of coal in their stocking.

Starting next year there are major chains that are removing AH from their eye level shelves. I remember reading this a few months ago.

The REAL reason they are going to strike is all the union members received cases of Bud Light for Christmas bonus.

I don’t know who to root against— the woke corporate a—h—-s or the scummy avaricious union bosses.

I was in Australia and they sold Budweiser. I was surprised. I asked if anyone drank Budweiser. He said “Weasel piss? Some women like it, dunno a single man that drinks it.”

I heard that Anheuser-Busch appointed Dylan Mulvaney as their chief negotiator. If that’s really true, I can understand why the Teamsters would be upset.

My first thought. Ever since teamsters started shooting at independent truckers years ago I’ve wanted to see it collapse.

You can cross the pick line and work for them but as soon as the strike is over you’ll be fired.

Check CPUSA. They will even throw in professionally made placards. “Hey hey hey AB, why does your beer taste like stale pee”

The teamsters are destroying their livelihoods just as unions everywhere.
