The Teamsters union is calling for a nationwide boycott of Molson Coors amid stalled talks with striking workers, asking that beer drinkers switch to Anheuser-Busch products.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is calling for a nationwide boycott of Molson Coors amid stalled labor talks between the union and the beverage company. Some 420 members of Teamsters Local 997 in Texas have been on strike for more than a month at Molson Coors' Fort Worth brewery after negotiators failed to reach an agreement on a new three-year contract for workers.
In the letter, the Teamsters suggested people switch to other beer brands, specifically recommending Anhueser-Busch InBev products such as Bud Light and Busch, while hailing A-B as a "model employer" for its recently ratified new nationwide contract with the union.
