Workers striking at Molson-Coors brewery in North Texas ramped up pressure as the protest slowed down traffic Wednesday.
Rick Miedema, secretary and treasurer for Teamsters Local 997, said they hope it increases the pressure on the company to meet their demands.
“We remain committed to doing what’s right for everyone and reaching a fair agreement in Fort Worth. We’ve offered highly competitive wages and benefits off an already strong base and participated in nearly 40 negotiating sessions with the union as we work towards a deal. We also continue to have strong contingency plans in place that will allow us to meet distributor and retailer demand. For instance, we continue to brew, package, and ship out of Fort Worth, our five other U.S.
He said company and union attorneys met with a judge on Tuesday evening, who ruled that the workers could delay cars by 90 seconds each. NBC 5 saw the impact even 90 seconds could have, as cars piled up on Freeway behind stalled trucks, even in non-peak hours.
