 Boddingtons is advertised as the Cream of Manchester |
Workers at the Boddingtons brewery in Manchester are starting a two day strike on Monday as part of their campaign to save the plant. The company's owner, Interbrew, plans to close the historic brewery and move production elsewhere with the loss of 55 jobs.
It says it is no longer profitable to produce beer at the site.
The 48-hour strike by members of the Transport and General Workers Union will begin at 2200 GMT.
Union official Mike Thompson said workers had no alternative but to strike.
