Today in 1936
Sailors aboard the S.S. California, docked in San Pedro, Calif., refuse to cast off the lines and allow the ship to sail until their wages are increased and overtime paid. The job action lasts three days before the secretary of labor intervenes and an agreement is reached. The leaders were fined two days’ pay, fired and blacklisted, although charges of mutiny were dropped. The action marked the beginnings of the National Maritime Union. ~ Labor Tribune

Global Brewer AB InBev Clashes With Union Over Negotiations Claim
Posted On: Feb 47, 2024
Feb. 15, 2024 | COLLECTIVE BARGAINING | In a recent statement, beer giant Anheuser-Busch’s communications bosses insisted that the firm has been working to “secure a contract” that “recognizes and rewards” its employees “since the bargaining cycle started in September.” The workers’ union said those claims were inaccurate. Kara Deniz, Teamsters Assistant Director of Communications, responded: “Negotiations with us do not continue. The Teamsters are not in negotiations with Anheuser-Busch. We do not have any negotiation dates with this company.” The news follows around 5,000 AB InBev Teamsters lobbying for better pay and benefits, as well as job security, insisting that they are prepared to strike at AB InBev breweries in St. Louis, Los Angeles, California; Fairfield, California; Fort Collins, Colorado; Houston, Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Cartersville, Georgia; Williamsburg, Virginia; Columbus, Ohio; Baldwinsville, New York; Newark, New Jersey; and Merrimack, New Hampshire.
