The hardworking men and women who craft Four Roses bourbon made the difficult decision to go on strike on September 7th. For more than two months, company officials at Four Roses have failed to negotiate a fair contract with their union employees. The company has been pushing to implement a two-tier system that would reduce benefits for new employees, even as the company invests $55 million in expanding the distillery to keep up with global demand for Four Roses bourbon. “We’re a family at Four Roses. We all work together because we take pride in the quality represented by that Four Roses label,” said Curt Standiford, a member of UFCW Local 23D who has worked for Four Roses for five years. “We cannot let the company treat the new hires like they are not a part of this family. I’m putting my job on the line to protect new hires because I believe in the tradition and dedication that we put into every barrel of Four Roses.” https://actionnetwork.org/forms/will-you-stand-with-four-roses-bourbon-workers
