I won't buy Yuengling Beer

I won't buy Yuengling Beer until you begin to respect workers.

There are lots of good beers brewed by companies that treat their workers with respect. I will stop drinking Yuengling until you change your attitude about workers' rights.

Why is this important?

I love Yuengling beer, but I can't buy it anymore.

Dick Yuengling, Jr., the head of the Yuengling beer company, has continued his attacks on workers. This time, he has declared that Pennsylvania should restrict the right of workers to organize unions.

Yuengling is a supporter of "Powerless Union" laws, which they cynically call "Right to Work." Powerless Union laws allow unions to organize, but render them so weak that they can't effectively represent workers.

There are lots of good beers brewed by companies that treat their workers with respect. It's time for us to stop drinking Yuengling until they change their attitude about workers' rights.
