ST. LOUIS — Anheuser-Busch and the Teamsters union announced a tentative agreement on a five-year contract.
The
contract covers more than 5,000 employees at the company's 12 U.S.
breweries. Union members will vote on the agreement in November.
Terms
include annual wage increases, health benefits for employees and their
families and better life insurance coverage. There's also a renewal of
the company's contractual commitment to keep all 12 U.S. breweries open
for the life of the agreement.
Tuesday's announcement also says
the contract will remain in force once the St. Louis brewer completes
its planned acquisition by Belgium's InBev.
