Milwaukee Brewers Need Your Help

Brewery Workers Local 9 needs your help. Please call Miller CEO Mr.
Norman Adamai at 414-931-2294 to express your concern. They are in very
difficult contract negotiations with Miller Brewery. There are 3 key
issues that remain unresolved:

" Mandatory overtime. Our forefathers in Milwaukee lost their lives in
1886 in the fight for the eight hour day. What they said then applies
today as well. Working people should expect eight hours to rest and
eight hours to do as they see fit after spending eight hours on the job.

In an era where we are all concerned about stresses on our family
structures, we should have the right to go home after an eight hour
shift.

" Unreasonable increases in health care out-of-pocket expenses. We are
all highly aware of the outrageous increases in the cost of health care
in our community. Your employees have consistently foregone wage
increases to help shoulder the load of premium increases. However, the
current proposal will make health care too expensive for many of your
employees, encouraging them to forego prevention and early intervention.

This will further escalate your health care costs.

" Loss of jobs. As recently as Thursday morning, at the United Way
campaign kickoff, Miller has publicly stated its support for family
supporting jobs in the Milwaukee community. Your plan to restructure
production into multi-skill teams will lead to the loss of many good
jobs at your own facility.
