Woodford Reserve tried to undermine unionization effort at its Kentucky distillery, judge rules

  Woodford Reserve is owned by Brown-Foreman, who also owns Jack Daniels, Old Forester, Korbel, and Chambord.

  There’s no way the subsidiary made those decisions alone. If you’re going to scratch Woodford off your list, you should also stop buying Jack, too.

    Does anyone have a list of unionized distilleries?

      Are there any worker owned distilleries? I’d buy coop bourbon

  If there’s enough evidence to rule that this happened, that says a lot.

  I hope Four Roses doesn’t screw up or I’m about to be out of luck.

  No. A company with over a billion dollars in revenue? No, this all seems unlikely. Why would a company try to suppress the wages of its employees? There’s no incentive, and how would they even go about it if, for some strange reason they actually wanted to? It’s not like there’s a notorious power imbalance between employer and employees by the very nature of the relationship that only unionization (or like, socialism or something if you just wanted to be some kind of pinko) could possibly begin to address.

  No, very unlikely, improbable, and doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would or could happen here in these God’s Greatest Country Ever™.
