Carling, Coors, Cobra, Corona, Crap, Capitalism. More and more of the business world are using the "difficult times" as an excuse to rip-up employment agreements won over years of struggle and negotiation, and replace them with a take it or leave it crap new employment agreement. One that sees the workers' rights shredded and their wages cut, Molson Coors UK, is just the latest to indulge in this "screw-the-worker" campaign. This is an appeal from Labour Start for solidarity.
Carling. Coors. Cobra. Corona.
Famous brews all made by Molson Coors UK -- and that's just the "C"s. Molson Coors UK claims to make great beers and be a great place to work. One of those statements may not be true.
Recently, the company has told its employees that half of them will
face pay cuts of up to £9,000 per year, they'll need to work excessive
shift hours and that the employer has decided to tear up an agreement
with the union. Workers who don't accept the company proposals stand to be dismissed by 14 June. Workers at Molson Coors UK, represented by Unite the Union, are now balloting for industrial action.
They are asking for all of us to support the online campaign launched by the IUF - the International Union of Food workers.
Please sign up to the campaign and spread the word to your friends, family and fellow union members.

Thank you!
