Local commemorates historic Coors boycott
October 11, 2024
Teamsters Local 2785 was very proud to take part in an important remembrance of San Francisco Labor history: the 51st anniversary of the Teamsters Coors Boycott. In 1973, Teamsters Local 888, with Allan Baird, formed a powerful alliance with the LGBTQ+ community with the help of Harvey Milk to strike and boycott Coors for their history of unfair labor practices and employment discrimination. The boycott’s success brought about significant changes and continues to inspire new generations to this day.
