"Anheuser-Busch Commercial Strategy intends to wind down and conclude operations at the Fairfield Brewery, Jessica Crisp, the brewery's general manager, wrote in the WARN letter the company sent to the California EDD. The decision came about after a thorough review, Crisp stated in the WARN notice. The job cuts are scheduled to begin on Feb. 9, and the brewery will wind down operations over a two-week period that will end on Feb. 22, Anheuser-Busch stated."
"All of the job cuts will be permanent, the company told the EDD. We will support the full-time employees currently working at the Fairfield facility by offering all of them a full-time role elsewhere in our U.S. operations, the company stated in the WARN letter. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 896 represents some workers. For employees that choose not to accept the offer to transfer, we will provide severance packages and other resources, the company said in the WARN notice."
"Anheuser-Busch has struck a deal to sell a brewery in New Jersey. Besides the Fairfield plant, the company will also close a brewery in New Hampshire. Production affected by the closures of the three plants will be shifted to other Anheuser-Busch manufacturing hubs elsewhere in the United States. Anheuser-Busch embarked on the staffing reductions despite a wide-ranging endeavor to revamp its American factories."
Anheuser-Busch will eliminate 238 jobs by closing the Fairfield brewery at 3101 Busch Dr., with reductions beginning Feb. 9 and operations winding down through Feb. 22. All job cuts are permanent. The company will offer every full-time Fairfield employee a full-time role elsewhere in its U.S. operations and will provide severance packages and other resources for employees who decline transfers. Some workers are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 896. Production from the Fairfield, New Jersey, and New Hampshire closures will be shifted to other Anheuser-Busch manufacturing hubs in the United States. The company has invested nearly $2 billion in U.S. facility upgrades over five years.
