TEAMSTERS' BOYCOTT PRESSURE FORCES MOLSON COORS BACK TO BARGAINING TABLE
Ft. Worth Brewery Teamsters Hold Strong on Strike Line, Demand Fair Agreement
英尺沃思啤酒廠團隊成員堅定不移地堅持罷工線，要求達成公平協議
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Facing a nationwide boycott and the 40th day of an ongoing strike at its Fort Worth brewery, Molson Coors returned to the bargaining table on Wednesday morning. Brewery workers continue to hold the strike line while the Teamsters negotiating committee meets with Molson Coors and a federal mediator to demand a strong agreement.
得克薩斯州沃思堡，2024年3月27日 /PRNewswire/ — 面對全國範圍的抵制和沃思堡啤酒廠持續罷工的第40天，莫爾森·庫爾斯於週三上午重返討價還價桌。啤酒廠工人繼續堅持罷工路線，而Teamsters談判委員會與莫爾森·庫爾斯和聯邦調解員會面，要求達成強有力的協議。
"Texas Teamsters are on the picket line day and night. We are proving to Molson Coors how serious we are about a fair, decent, respectable contract. We will withhold our labor and boycott this company until workers get an agreement that is worthy of their hard work and sacrifices," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien. "Our members not only make the beer — they make these greedy Molson Coors executives obscenely rich. It's time the workers who make this company wildly successful see their fair share of the profits."
“德州車隊日夜都在糾察隊上。我們向莫爾森·庫爾斯證明了我們對一份公平、體面、受人尊敬的合同是多麼認真。Teamsters總裁肖恩·奧布賴恩說，在員工達成值得他們辛勤工作和犧牲的協議之前，我們將扣留勞動力並抵制這家公司。“我們的成員不僅釀造啤酒，還讓這些貪婪的莫爾森·庫爾斯高管變得異常富有。現在是讓這家公司取得巨大成功的員工看到他們應得的利潤份額的時候了。”
"Molson Coors put itself on strike when they took our members for granted and refused to reach a fair agreement. In the past 40 days, Molson Coors has not only witnessed the unity of our members on the picket line, but a nationwide boycott of their products. Now that this company has come back to the negotiating table, we expect a contract that values working people or we will fight for as long as it takes to ultimately get it," said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference.
“當莫爾森·庫爾斯將我們的成員視爲理所當然並拒絕達成公平協議時，他們開始罷工。在過去的40天裏，莫爾森·庫爾斯不僅目睹了我們的成員在糾察隊上的團結，而且目睹了全國範圍內對其產品的抵制。Teamsters啤酒廠、麪包店和軟飲料會議董事傑夫·帕德拉羅說，既然這家公司又回到了談判桌旁，我們希望簽訂一份重視勞動人民的合同，否則我們將爲最終達成該合同而奮鬥。
Teamsters Local 997 members were forced out on strike on February 17, after Molson Coors failed to come to terms on an agreement that rewards Teamsters with their fair share of the company's record-setting profits. The union is seeking pay raises, improved retirement benefits and to maintain good Teamsters health care for more than 420 Teamsters who make, package, and warehouse Molson Coors products, and maintain the Fort Worth brewery.
Teamsters Local 997成員於2月17日被迫罷工，此前莫爾森·庫爾斯未能就一項向Teamsters獎勵Teamsters在公司創紀錄的利潤中所佔的應得份額的協議達成協議。該工會正在尋求加薪、改善退休金，併爲生產、包裝和倉儲莫爾森·庫爾斯產品以及維護沃思堡啤酒廠的420多名Teamsters維持良好的醫療保健。
Molson Coors' fourth-quarter 2023 earnings were the company's highest since 2005. The company boasted it delivered six years' worth of profit growth in the last year alone. In October 2023, Molson Coors announced a $2 billion stock buyback for wealthy shareholders.
莫爾森·庫爾斯2023年第四季度的收益是該公司自2005年以來的最高水平。該公司吹噓，僅去年一年，它就實現了六年的利潤增長。2023年10月，莫爾森·庫爾斯宣佈向富有的股東回購20億美元的股票。
The Texas facility is the only brewery that services the entire Western region of the United States with Molson Coors products that include Topo Chico, Simply, Pabst, and Yuengling, among other major beverage brands.
得克薩斯州的工廠是唯一一家爲整個美國西部地區提供服務的啤酒廠，其產品包括Topo Chico、Simply、Pabst和Yuengling等主要飲料品牌。
