BRONX (WABC) — The strike by 600 unionized delivery workers at Manhattan Beer & Beverage Distributors has officially ended after two days of labor unrest, which centered around pension protections and labor practices.
In a statement released Thursday morning, Manhattan Beer Distributors announced, “We’re pleased to announce we’ve reached an agreement and the strike is over.”
While the tentative agreement still requires ratification by union members, it is widely expected to pass. The new contract includes provisions that safeguard workers’ pensions and retirement security.
The strike had disrupted deliveries of popular beer brands such as Corona, Coors, and Modelo, affecting local businesses, including restaurants, bars, and supermarkets across New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. Without a resolution, these establishments would have faced significant supply chain challenges.
The resolution of this dispute comes as a relief to consumers and businesses alike, ensuring the continued availability of these popular beverages.
