Teamsters Strike Molson Coors Brewery, Threaten Walkout at Anheuser-Busch Over Contract Disputes
• The Teamsters union went on strike at Molson Coors' Texas brewery after failed contract negotiations, and is threatening the same at Anheuser-Busch breweries.
• The Teamsters say Molson Coors offered less than $1 per hour wage increases for most workers, and want pay raises to match inflation.
• Molson Coors says it has contingency plans to continue production and shipping during the strike.
• The Teamsters' contract with Anheuser-Busch for 12 U.S. breweries expires Feb. 29th, and a strike vote has been approved.
• The Teamsters are demanding improved pay, health care, retirement benefits, and job security from Anheuser-Busch.
