BARDSTOWN, Ky. — Striking workers at one of the world’s largest bourbon producers are scheduled to vote on a new contract on Saturday, a day after announcing a tentative agreement with Heaven Hill. About 420 members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 23D went on strike about six weeks ago, forming picket lines at the company’s operations in Bardstown, Kentucky, after rejecting a previous contract proposal. The tentative agreement came just days after the company signaled it intended to start hiring permanent replacement employees for bottling and warehouse operations.

The dispute revolved around health care and scheduling, the latter a sign of the bourbon industry’s growing pains as it tries to keep up with global demand. Family-owned and operated Heaven Hill produces Evan Williams, one of the world’s top-selling bourbons. The spirits company’s other brands include Elijah Craig, Henry McKenna, Old Fitzgerald, Larceny and Parker’s Heritage Collection.

Keep fighting for what you deserve!!

Consumption is down

How many workers?

Very interesting all these companies lately having people walking out over “contract disputes”. It’s because of bullshit tyrannical vaccine mandates. The media are propagandists at best. Traitors to the USA.
