Employees at Carlsberg staged a wildcat 3 day strike after their access to limitless beer was cut off at the Danish Brewery.
Warehouse and production staff at the firm’s Copenhagen headquarters are now only permitted to drink beer in the canteen at lunchtimes, after the company removed work-site coolers from which employees could help themselves to a Carlsberg throughout the day.
More than 1,000 workers walked out in protest over the issue. Truck drivers at the brewery also joined the strike in sympathy – although they are still allowed to take three beers from the canteen at lunchtime!! The strikers are now back at work pending talks with management.
