Workers at Fort Worth Molson Coors brewery go on strike
The Fort Worth brewery where workers are on strike makes a variety of Molson Coors brands, including Coors Light.
About 420 workers at one of the biggest breweries in the United States, Molson Coors’ Fort Worth facility, went on strike starting on Saturday over pay and other benefits.
The workers, represented by Teamsters Local 997, want larger pay raises than what the company is proposing and the elimination of two-tiered health care and retirement benefits. By walking out, workers halted production at the only brewery that serves the western U.S. with Molson Coors products like Coors Light, Topo Chico hard seltzer and Simply juices.
It’s the latest in a long series of strikes across the country in the past year as workers from industries like automotive, airlines and even Hollywood writers have all walked off the job.
