For 29 days, no matter the conditions, Molson Coors employees have picketed rather than reported to their jobs at the Fort Worth brewery.
“It’s been a long time, but we’re not going to break down,” said Teamsters Local 997 Secretary-Treasurer Rick Miedema.
“We’re firing on all cylinders right now. We’re going to prove a point to the company. We’re going to get the agreement, but we need to ratify this agreement to get everyone back inside, and the International they’re sparing no expense. We’re not stopping,” he said.In recent days, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has increased strike benefits for those picketing daily, slowed traffic outside of the facility, and now asked the public to stop drinking the company’s beverages.
