So recently there have been strikes by cabin crew at BA, tube workers on the Underground, the AA are threatened with one by a major union, the dockers in Finland refused to ship paper into the UK and other territories but now the worst of all is upon us... workers at the Carlsberg Factory in Denmark are on strike! Why? Due to a ban on drinking beer throughout the working day!
Up until last week workers (and drivers!!!) were permitted free beer, water and soft drinks everywhere but on Wednesday the beers were removed from all refrigerators. Now workers can only have a beer at lunchtime. An old Carlsberg policy permitted drivers to have up to 3 beers per day outside lunch hours and the warehouse workers had the same right.
Now I'm all for giving people the rights afforded to them under their employment, but these rights seem dangerous in a driving and warehouse environment!
But Carlsberg workers obviously feel strongly about it as 800 of them have walked out in protest...will it get resolved soon? Probably.
