When it comes to beer, there is only one factor that’s more important than price and taste: is it union? Molsons, Miller, Anheuser-Busch, Pabst are all good union products. Always look for the union label, comrades, even when getting loaded.
Beer drinkers, I regret to report that Yeungling is on the Unfair list. Management at Yeungling are busting the longtime union for their workers, Teamsters local 830. They cut off negotiations long before the recent contract expired and threatens employees’ jobs if they didn’t sign a petition to decertify the union – all in blatant violation of federal labor law. But the law won’t mean anything if people keep drinking their union-busting beer. Boycott Yeungling, Yuengling Premium Beer, Yuengling Light, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Dark Brewed Porter, Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Original Black & Tan.
Let the company know that you deplore their wholesale violation of their employees’ rights. Demand that they resume negotiating with the union before you ever take another sip of their beer.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere, I’d like to personally thank Shaun for supporting our Union Beer! Eh! Keep in mind we’ve had out own run ins with Union busting tactics at Molson. We boycotted them through a campaign called “Be a True Blue Canadian!” and leafletted our government run/owned and controlled “Beer Stores.” For my American friends, yeah, our government runs owns and operates all our alcoholic distributors, the Beer Store and the LCBO in Ontario (Liquor Control Board of Ontario)…see you soon with Bud Light in hand!
