A strike nearing its fifth month against Lohr Distributing in St. Louis is escalating. The Teamsters are encouraging a boycott of Lohr distributed Anheuser Busch products in the city of St. Louis
after Lohr hired permanent replacement drivers. Anheuser-Bush has filed unfair labor practice charges against the Teamsters alleging that the Teamsters are breaking the law by encouraging a boycott against Lohr distributed Anheuser Busch products. The Teamsters
say Lohr can easily afford a fair contract but instead wants to push wages back to 1980's levels.
