Teamsters Strategy on Acquisition of Anheuser Busch

The Teamsters Union is placing global union strategies at the center of its effort to protect jobs and communities that might be threatened by the takeover of Anheuser Busch. The collapsing US dollar has made it possible for the Belgian/Brazilian brewer InBev to acquire Anheuser Busch for some $52 billion depreciated greenbacks.

If shareholders and regulators approve the takeover as expected, the new company Anheuser-Busch InBev would control about 25 percent of the world beer market, easily outstripping current leader SABMiller in market share and size.
