Hundreds of A-B/InBev workers from our community, Brazil, Belgium and Canada and their community supporters rallied Saturday, in Kiener Plaza in Downtown St. Louis.

St Louis has cherished the tradition of Anheuser-Busch as a quality employer and important member of our economic community. InBev has been quick to provide assurances about its ongoing commitment to St Louis and at this rally the community let InBev know we’re watching, that we do hope we’re beginning a new tradition with InBev.

We won’t have to wait long to see if InBev will really "walk the walk". Monday, August 18, 2008 A-B/InBev begins talks with 8,000 workers through their union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Their agreements on job security, pensions and health care coverage for workers, retirees and their families will send a signal to St Louis and 12 other communities throughout the country where InBev will take ownerhip of A-B breweries. For more information on the Rally See coverage from KSDK Channel 5 .
