FORT WORTH, Texas, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Negotiations with Molson Coors broke off on Thursday over the multibillion-dollar beermaker's refusal to agree to real wage increases for Teamsters in a new three-year contract. Members of Teamsters Local 997 continue to hold the strike line 24/7 at the Fort Worth brewery as a nationwide boycott of Molson Coors products continues.

Key Points: 
  • In negotiations that included a mediator on Thursday, Molson Coors offered just five more cents per hour in its wage proposal to the workers who brew and package its signature beers.
  • For months, Molson Coors had not budged from its original degrading offer of 99-cent per hour raises.
  • Since workers were forced onto the picket line 41 days ago, Molson Coors CEO Gavin Hattersley has been paid more than $5.1 million.
  • Molson Coors doesn't care about Texas workers or their hard labor or the sacrifices their families have made to make the company rich.
