AB InBev: billions in profit, cuts for local workers, scab-brewed beer for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians!

26-06-2013

About 50 Labatt workers in Newfoundland,Canada have been walking the picket line for 13 weeks. The workers are striking for a fair collective agreement while Labatt is looking for big concessions.

AB InBev has given workers no option but to fight against the elimination of rights [1]ranging from unlimited temporary employees receiving no benefits to existing members having to help pay for medical and dental benefits for the first time. Labatt's beer in Newfoundland and Labrador is now being brewed by scabs.

ACT NOW and JOIN THE LABOURSTART CAMPAIGN [2] to tell Labatt and AB InBev it can afford to negotiate a fair agreement.
