Companies in the news: 

Molson Coors Beverage Co. — The union representing about 420 workers at the Molson Coors brewing plant on the South Shore of Montreal are on strike. Teamsters sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ says nearly 320 workers voted 99 per cent on Sunday against the company's last contract offer and gave the union a strike mandate. The union says the two parties do not agree on salary increases and on the establishment of a new layoff system that would not take seniority into account. Molson Coors spokesman Frederic Bourgeois-Leblanc says it is disappointed that employees walked off the job before it made a final offer because it is offering a "more than competitive wage and has a history of providing well-paying jobs" in Quebec. Bourgeois-Leblanc adds that the company has turned to an unspecified contingency plan as it works to meet consumer demand.
