Teamsters to Rally at Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, FL – December 5, 2023 – The Teamsters are ready to rally at the Jacksonville Anheuser-Busch brewery in Florida on Friday, December 8, kicking off at 10 a.m. with #Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman.
The rally comes after Anheuser-Busch refused to discuss strong job protections for 5,000 Anheuser-Busch Teamsters working at 12 U.S. breweries.
Anheuser-Busch has made some concessions, but it has refused to discuss job protections. The company has said that it needs to be able to make changes to its workforce in order to remain competitive.
The Teamsters are not convinced that Anheuser-Busch needs to make these changes. The company is highly profitable and its workforce is unionized. The Teamsters believe that Anheuser-Busch can protect its jobs and still be profitable.
The Teamsters are calling on all union members and activists to stand in solidarity with the Anheuser-Busch workers. The union is also asking consumers to boycott Anheuser-Busch products until the company agrees to a fair contract.
