The Manhattan Beer delivery workers strike continues to bubble over as drivers remain off their jobs for a second day, slowing down citywide deliveries of popular brands, like Corona and Sam Adams.

News 12 was back at the picket lines outside their Hunts Point headquarters in The Bronx where drivers reported their biggest concern is their pension.

"The way that the climate is right now and with the stock markets, the way things are up and down, we can't really depend on a 401(k).” said Noel Ferreras, a driver of 12 years. “And we just have to always lean on something that is for sure, especially when you have family, children. Pension is the way to go."

Unionized workers say Manhattan Beer & Beverages Distributors (MBBD) wants to take away workers’ pensions in favor of a 401(k) retirement plan.

Sources within the beer distribution company said that Manhattan Beer offered to contribute “tens of millions of dollars” to existing pensions and change retirement benefits going forward to a 401(k) plan, which the company said is “more secure.”

However, labor organizers say that retiring through a 401(k) means that the money people get in retirement can fluctuate based on the stock market, unlike a pension that is a fixed, typically guaranteed amount.

“We have to get compensated for the type of work that we do. You know, we're not trying to say give us what we don't deserve.” said Manuel Maldonado, a driver with more than a decade under his belt.

The union representing the workers accused Manhattan Beer of circumventing them in the negotiating process by bringing the offer straight to employees. On the other hand, MBBD said the union moved forward with the strike before sharing the company’s offer to a vote of the full membership.

In a statement on the strike’s second day, MBBD said in a statement: “We are back at the negotiation table today. We have made a very compelling and attractive offer after several weeks of negotiations. We are hopeful that the members will soon be given their opportunity to vote on our proposal for a satisfactory resolution.”
