Bud Light on Hold? Teamsters Vote to Authorize Strike Against Anheuser-Busch

Brace yourselves, beer lovers - a potential storm is brewing on the horizon. In St. Louis, Missouri, the Teamsters union, representing over 5,000 workers at Anheuser-Busch (AB InBev), the maker of Budweiser, Bud Light, and other popular brands, has authorized a nationwide strike if the company doesn't reach a new contract by the end of February.

Union leaders announced the strike authorization vote over the weekend, leaving a cloud of uncertainty hanging over America's beer supply. While several points in the contract have been tentatively agreed upon, negotiations have stalled in recent weeks, creating a tense standoff. . .
