Steve Beck, Teamsters 853 Pricipal officer addressed Teamsters from across the country about the challenges facing the liquor industry

During the Unity Conference, Steve Beck, Principal Officer of Local 853 and IBT representative, addressed Teamsters from across the country about the challenges facing the liquor industry. Southern Glazers, RNDC, and Breakthru are currently dealing with issues stemming from Reyes Beer Company, which has taken several liquor brands away from union companies.

Steve Beck emphasized that the loss of major brands from a prominent union company to a non-union company poses an existential threat to our members nationwide. He has issued a call to action to all Union Locals, encouraging them to unite in response to this challenge.

With the backing from Jeff Padellaro (Director, BBSD) and the IBT, we plan to organize Reyes at every level.
