I’ve always thought “probably the best job in the world” would be to work at Carlsberg and have an endless flow of free beer. But the Danish brewer recently tightened employee benefits, primarily drinking during work, by removing beer fridges that have always been located across the work space.
Instead, Carlsberg workers are now only allowed to drink during lunch hours. But truckers are exempt and they’re still allowed to carry 3 cans of beer for the road as they normally don’t have time for lunch on-site! It was no surprise that 800 employees went on strike and 250 walked off, resulting in delivery delays around Copenhagen.
I heard that even the drivers went on strike to support their fellow colleagues.
Yah – I think 3 cans of beer for a driver is unheard of in any other country, save maybe France? LOL Wonder if they have drink-driving laws at all.
Can’t stop staring at the photo. Beer does that to me.
