It is a Beerocalypse.
An imminent strike by the beer delivery workers threatens to deprive thousands of bars and restaurants of the large apples, and the New York besides, or the sweet spurs of popular beers such as Coors, Corona and Sam Adams.
The unionized workers for Manhattan beer and drink distributors were prepared to attack the midnight coup on Tuesday, since the conversations showed little sign of serving a new contract, Labor leaders said.
The beer giant has gone crazy to the 600 employees of 600 and their union allegedly pushing them out of their pension plan.
“Keep the hands of our pensions,” said the co-manager of the Union Alberto Arroyo to The Post.
Manhattan Beer has exclusive rights in New York City for several popular beers, distributing characters such as Blue Moon, Coors, Corona, Model and Sam Adams.
An attack blow could dry bars, warehouses and restaurants that receive shipments of approximately 300 brands of beer, cider, wine and other drunk drinks of Manhattan’s beer, said a person with knowledge of the negotiations.
Four of the five Manhattan Beer facilities, including its Hunts Point headquarters, would be affected by the strike.
The dispute derives from the confordation of the Union so that the workers of the company part are weakened to stop workers to stop the fiatipization of the party in their pension plan, with the eye of replacing it with a 401 (k) or other retirement option, the source said.
Manhattan Beer allegedly avoided the union and directly to Dalt with the employees in his impulse, which led to the filling of an unfair labor practice complaint before the National Board of Labor Relations.
“Manhattan’s beer should not violate the law, commit unfair job practices and try to freeze our pensions,” said Joe González Jr., a beer delivery worker, in a statement. “That’s what our fight is about.
“No one should tell this child of behavior.”
The company’s representatives and their labor lawyer did not return the calls and posts of the post for comments.
The union has proposed to Manhattan Beer Pony for an additional “modest” of $ 1.50 per hour to preserve the workers’ pension, both for current and future employees, said the source.
“Without monthly pension benefits when they retire, these workers will have difficulties in old age to pay housing, groceries and other needs of life,” he said in a statement. “That is unacceptable.”
