Teamsters: Anheuser-Busch Strike Appears Unavoidable
Teamsters Union official press release ^ | 2024.02.01 | Kara Deniz

Posted on 02/01/2024 7:59:38 AM PST by Salman

(WASHINGTON) — Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien demanded Anheuser-Busch deliver its last, best, and final offer, after the company wasted another negotiating session putting forth an unacceptable proposal that threatens to kill Teamster jobs by closing breweries and permanently laying off Teamsters systemwide.

After refusing to commit to protecting Teamster jobs since mid-November, Anheuser-Busch executives returned to the bargaining table this week with an offer to butcher the good-paying jobs behind its products. If the company does not reverse course and come to terms on an agreement that rewards and protects workers, 5,000 Teamsters will be forced to go on strike as soon as March 1.

“The halting of beer production at Anheuser-Busch’s U.S. breweries appears imminent and unavoidable,” O’Brien said. “This company has got to get its priorities straight. With its actions during negotiations this week, Anheuser-Busch made clear it is hellbent on destroying American jobs. They can throw billions of dollars at Super Bowl ads and Wall Street, but they can’t seem to bargain a contract that respects the Teamsters who do the real work inside these breweries. They have a harsh reality awaiting them when Anheuser-Busch breweries are empty, and Teamsters are on the streets.”

Take the best offer they’ve put on the table thus far, toss in free sex-change operations for any interested Teamster employees, and run that up the flagpole - there’s the answer!

Don’t worry, A-B is planning a multi-million dollar Super Bowl ad buy (3 or more 30 second ads at a book rate of $7 million per each 30 seconds,) so that should fix things.

The best thing that AB could do is to declare that all light beer is frickin' gay and they will no longer be producing any light beer swill.

Then they can focus on Bud.

And all those losers fooling themselves into thinking they're keeping their beer guts at bay by drinking pansy light beer can go drink Miller Lite or Coors Lite or Drag Queen Lite.

I forgot about what the unions did to Hostess. Thanks for the excellent reminder.

Yes, it was the last straw when the unions told “Easter Airlines” they couldn’t operate any other day of the year.

Most power plants would not get the elevators working in the boiler houses until late in construction. I saw union guys sitting on their asses for 20 minutes on the ground floor waiting for the elevator to come to take them to the second floor. And the stairs were right NEXT to the elevator. There would be long lines of guys waiting for the elevator to go up a few flights and most of them were in serious need of some exercise.

They should go on strike this week so that Anheuser-Busch pulls their advertising for the Super Bowl, which they’ve double down on this year. If the Teamsters want to strike and cripple Anheuser-Busch, they should go on strike right before the Super Bowl. Let them all walk the picket line.

Yah. Long enough to kill it.

They made a critical mistake with the BudLite crappola. They deserve to go all the way down.
Like all of Disney.

They should double down on partnering with their contracted trans spokesthing, that’ll work.
Expand the branding from Bûd Üght, er, butt light to everything.
Because trans is just so popular, the media says so.
Strike?
Naw, nothing to worry about.

I dare them to do it.

When I was 21 I was a company spy at the off-site employee meeting with the Union organizers.   The plant manager was the son-in-law of my mother-in-law's best friend and knew about my family background, so they knew I was the right guy to be their spy.   Oh, I could also say that my mother-in-law's best friend was the wife of a co-founder of the company.   The Union representative was a New Jersey thug right out or central casting.   He looked me in the eye and I'm sure he knew I wasn't buying his lies.

I went back to the President of the company to tell him it was a lost cause because all of his production line leads were all in the Union thug's pocket and told all of their workers to sign the cards.

The job I was working at the time although one of the most important (Receiving clerk and forklift operator delivering all parts to every production line), the Union put at the bottom of the craftsmen grades.   Before the announcement that the Union won and I got my pink slip, I had my delayed enlistment slot for a guaranteed job in the USAF.

I was told later that when the company began working again after the Unionized employee restructure, the production output didn't ever reach one quarter of the output before the Union organizing and the company shut its doors for good within months.

Once again, the line workers are forced to pay for the sins of the korporate board. The board hired an advertising agency to promote a transvestite with their product. Sales tanked and now the same board wants the workers to take a cut to pay for it.

I think it would do the country good, speaking of all 330 million of us, to see a LARGE company go completely broke due to wokeness.

A proverbial slap up side the head to 330 million people. Not that all of us need it but somewhere around half do.

Re the union, bears repeating:

The Union representative was a New Jersey thug right out or central casting. He looked me in the eye and I'm sure he knew I wasn't buying his lies.
