Anheuser-Busch, a key player under AB InBev, recently dodged a potential strike by clinching a provisional deal with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which advocates for its workforce involved in manufacturing. This agreement, established on a Wednesday, promises enhanced job stability for about 5,000 employees across the company’s facilities. The workforce, comprising brewers, packaging, and production staff, is set to benefit from wage boosts amounting to $8 per hour, alongside a $2,500 bonus upon ratification. Furthermore, the pact encompasses augmented pension contributions, reinstated retirement perks, and the luxury of 8 weeks paid leave, as detailed by a Teamsters press release.

Sean M. O’Brien, the president of Teamsters, articulated satisfaction with the settlement, noting it as a significant benchmark for the brewing sector. He highlighted the union’s readiness to take necessary measures to secure a favorable deal. Conversely, Anheuser-Busch lauded the preliminary agreement for its role in augmenting an already competitive compensation and benefits scheme, emphasizing the deal’s contribution to job security.
