Molson Coors employees in Fort Worth, Texas, have been on strike for over two months, demanding a fair contract from the company. Despite reporting $12 billion in profits last year, Molson Coors has offered an insulting wage increase of 99 cents per hour, which the workers have rejected.
The workers, represented by the Teamsters Union, have accused the company of greed and disrespect. They point out that the CEO’s salary is nearly $10 million, while they struggle to make ends meet. They have also been subjected to disrespectful treatment, including being left waiting for hours at the bargaining table.
The strike has led to a nationwide boycott of Molson Coors products, which include Miller High Life, Coors Light, and Milwaukee’s Best. The workers are calling on the public to support their cause and put pressure on the company to reach a fair agreement.
The Molson Coors strike is a reminder of the ongoing struggle between workers and corporations. Workers are demanding fair wages, healthcare, and respect, while companies are increasingly prioritizing profits over people. The strike has inspired other workers to come together, unionize, and fight for their worth.
