This week, in the long running dispute at the CUB brewery in Melbourne Australia, workers marked the new ownership regime of AB InBev with a rally outside their offices to remind them that workers are still fighting. The dispute is part of a union busting and wage cutting attempt by the company targeting 55 specialised electrical and manufacturing maintenance workers. The dispute is fast approaching its 5th month, but workers are standing firm with ongoing support both locally and internationally. The new owners, AB InBev, are the biggest brewers in the world, and this may open up new solidarity opportunities with workers employed at AB InBev facilities around the world.
