Union Urging People To Buy Moosehead Despite Lockout

The lockout continues between Moosehead and some of its workers over a pension dispute with no end in sight.

The company has always covered the cost of post-retirement benefits but due to the escalating costs of many prescriptions drugs, they want the workers to cover some of the cost.

Vice-President of Public Affairs Joel Levesque tells CHSJ News things have been fairly quiet and it's business as usual at the brewery.

Members of the Union are assuring the public they want people to keep buying Moosehead products and in no way do they support a boycott of any kind.

The workers continue to walk the line everyday outside the west side brewery since the lockout began on February 20th.
