E-Malt.com News article: Mexico: Grupo Modelo settles month-long strike at one of its breweries

Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo said on May, 20 a more than month-long strike at one of its breweries in southern Mexico had been resolved, which would allow the plant to restart operations on May, 21, Reuters communicates.

The brewer of Corona beer did not elaborate on the resolution of the strike.

Workers at the plant in Tuxtepec in the southwestern state of Oaxaca, walked off the job last month seeking unspecified revisions to their collective contract, Modelo said in April.

The Tuxtepec brewery employs 1,100 workers, or about 3 percent of Modelo's workforce in Mexico, and can produce up to 16 million hectolitres of beer a year.
