Brewery Hands Accept Pay Cut To Save Ruppert Brewery
In New York labor and management agreed to a 10 percent pay cut to reduce a 2.5 million dollar deficit at the Jacob Ruppert Brewery. Teamsters will have five weeks of layoffs, and management salaries will drop at least 10 percent. A stockholder group opposes the move, seeking liquidation despite a voluntary furlough plan that keeps annual production around 1.2 million barrels. The beer, sold as Knickerbocker, is widely distributed in New York and New England.
