Workers who make Bud Light and other top-selling beers are threatening to strike in demand of significant wage increases, job security and improvements to retirement and benefits in the first big union contract battle of 2024. Five thousand workers, represented by the Teamsters at 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries in the US, are threatening to strike after voting 99% in favor of a strike authorization last month. Their current union contract is set to expire on 29 February.
2023 was marked by symbiosis between the labor and climate movements. Workers across industries and geographies loudly
declared that a world in which their safety and well-being are
disregarded is even more dangerous to them and to others in a time of
energy transition and climate crisis.
