The Teamsters are asking that all Anheuser-Busch products in St. Louis be boycotted following the hiring of what Lohr Distributing says are permanent replacements for striking Teamsters drivers.
Lohr distributes Anheuser-Busch beer within the city of St. Louis. Teamsters have been on strike against Lohr for four and a half months. Teamsters Local 600 President Dan McKay says Lohr is showing its true colors in this move to get rid of higher-paid older workers and attempt to bust the union. Lohr says it wants to continue negotiations but the Teamsters believe the company is trying to break the union. The Teamsters struck Lohr only after six months of negotiations over health care costs and pay failed to produce an agreement on a new contract. So if you're having a brew in St. Louis and want to support working families, the Teamsters say don't drink Anheuser-Busch beer.
