LABOR STRIKE LOOMING FOR ANHEUSER-BUSCH TEAMSTERS UNION

By Justin Velazquez Central NY
PUBLISHED 7:53 PM ET Feb. 08, 2024 PUBLISHED 7:53 PM EST Feb. 08, 2024

After a year packed with labor strikes across the country, another may be
coming.

Anheuser-Busch employees are threatening to go on strike if a deal isn’t reached
by the Feb. 29 deadline, halting the production of popular beer brands like
Budweiser and Bud Light.

Practice pickets are being held in front of all 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries
across the country, including in Baldwinsville, located just outside of
Syracuse, N.Y. The strike could affect about 5,000 employees.

The conflict came to a head in December when thousands of Anheuser-Busch
Teamsters authorized a strike by a 99% vote.

In negotiations, teamsters are asking for wage increases, improved job security
and enhanced benefits. At the beginning of the month, they called for
Anheuser-Busch’s final offer, after what Teamsters described as another wasted
negotiating session.

“Teamsters in general, across all the breweries, did a preratification for a
contract and sent that proposal to the company," said Jason Whitten, recording
secretary at Teamsters Local 1149. "Definitely don’t think they took it
seriously at all, so being out here today, I think they’re gonna realize that we
are being serious and we’re ready to go on strike if needed.”

Teamsters says they have a strike fund of more than $300 million. The union on
Monday announced it will pay Anheuser-Busch employees $1,000 a week.

An Anheuser-Busch company spokesperson released a statement on Thursday night.

"Anheuser-Busch's iconic American brands will continue to be available to our
valued customers and consumers across the country, and our top priority remains
securing a contract that recognizes and rewards our hardworking employees and
continues to provide the best jobs in the beer industry," it says.
