Anheuser-Busch Union Members Overwhelmingly Vote to Authorize Strike

Teamsters union members at Anheuser-Busch's 12 U.S. breweries have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a potential strike, citing the need for improved wages, job protection, and secure benefits. The current agreement expires on February 29. The strike threat comes after the beermaker's parent company, AB InBev, faced a conservative-led Bud Light boycott, impacting its revenue and stock price. Strike authorization votes are common during contract negotiations and may not necessarily result in a strike.
