Belgium: InBev says struck deal with employees to end industrial action

InBev, the world's second-largest beer producer by volume, said it had struck a deal with its Belgian employees to end a round of industrial action that had hampered its operations, Reuters reported April 29.

InBev said in a statement that the agreement was positive for itself and its workers.

A wildcat strike by white-collar staff had halted production at its main Stella Artois plant on Friday.

Unions and management were in dispute over a plan to introduce a system of flexible pay linked to performance for some 180 sales staff.
