Labatt Breweries have recently bought out independent Lakeport for a lot of money, I don't recall how much. So far, the 140 Teamsters employed there (and 60 non-union employees) have yet to hear what will happen to their jobs and livelihoods. Lakeport hasn't said anything to the union,and Labatt is legally prevented from doing so as the sale hasn't legally taken place yet.
"(It's) disappointing because I have a very upset, anxious group of employees down there saying, 'What's going to happen to us?'" said Craig McInnes, vice-president of the local.
Let's hope all the best for these workers that are currently left in.the dark.

The Labatt Brazilian management will do what they have been doing for the last two years. Raping and pillaging.
Brewing will be moved to London, Hamilton employees will be booted out and the plant will be toasted so that no one can use it to compete with them.
Canada, what a great country!
It looks like a couple of Hamilton businessmen put up a web site that asks people to vote and comment with their thoughts about how they feel if Labatt decides to close Lakeport. It's at www.hamiltonbeer.com and one of the questions is "Would you buy Labatt's beer if they close Lakeport?" Ya right!
