The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 838 in Kansas City, MO represents the Beer Drivers who are employed by County Beverage which is the second largest Budweiser Distributor in Missouri.

The Teamsters are currently in negotiations with County Beverage and its contract expired earlier this week.  The Union has requested a modest hourly wage increase for a small amount of the workforce and County Beverage countered with a reduction in hourly wages and benefits on average between $10,000 and $18,000 annually for employees who earn a base salary plus commission.

County Beverage dispenses Budweiser products to business south of 85th Street in Kansas City and east of Interstate 435 in Jackson County, Missouri.  Some of these businesses include Arrowhead Stadium, Costco in Independence, Gomer’s on 99th & Holmes, Royal Liquors on 103rd, Berbiglia on 103rd, Lukas Liquors, Target Super Store and grocery stores such as Price Chopper and Hy-Vee in South Kansas City, Independence, Raytown and Lee’s Summit. 

We ask that you do the right thing and boycott puchasing any Budweiser products while Teamsters Local 838 Members are on Strike.
