Coors Boycott Committee speaks out

Don't Buy Coors Beer

-- a message from the Coors Boycott
Committee, P.O. Box 6382, Hartford,
CT, 06106

Coors is anti-lesbian and anti-gay:

Joseph Coors is the founder and
chief financial backer of the Committee
for Survival of a Free Congress, where
one of its leaders wrote, "I know
what...I feel about these queers... We
could get in our ears and run them
down while they march.”

The‘Coors Company has made
substantial campaign contributions to
California State Senator H.L.
Richardson and Assembly Member

Alister McAllister, who led the drive to
defeat AB-l, the California Gay Rights
Bill.

Prospective employees have been
required to answer questions about
their sexual preference as part of the
company's infamous lie detector test.

Coors ls anti-labor:

Coors brewery workers maintained
a strike for a year and a half in
protest of being subjected to the lie
detector tests that require information
on personal finances. religious and
political beliefs and sexual practices.
Workers also opposed the search and
seizure of their personal effects by
Coors‘ private police force. The
company then manipulated an election,
to eliminate the union, in which only
strikebreakers were allowed to vote.

Coors has busted l9 unions in the
past 20 years.

During the United Farmworkers
Strike, Coors volunteered to use his
trucks to haul scab grapes from
California into other states.

Coors distributors have historically
been forced to sign contracts binding
them to use scabs in the event of a
strike.

Coors is racist:

William Coors, chairman of the
board, called a meeting of workers, on
company time, to urge employees to
work against the Civil Rights ct of
1964.

Joseph Coors helped found and
bankroll the right wing think tank, the
Heritage Foundation. The Reagan
Administration relies heavily on the
Heritage Foundation's recommendations
to eliminate affirmative action, cut
back on social services, abolish the
minimum wage, and encourage closer
ties with the apartheid regime in South
Africa.

In l984, William Coors told a black
audience, "One of the best things they
(slave traders) did for you is to drag
your ancestors over here in chains."
Coors ls antl-womam’

Joseph Coors organized and funded
the most vicious enemies of women's
rights: Phyllis Schlafly, Senators
Denton, Helms and Hatch -- all of
whom are committed to denying women
their rights and reducing their legal
status to that of serving their husbands
and fathers.

After the Equal Opportunity
Commission filed suit against Coors,
more women were hired, but according
to sworn affidavits, Coors did his best
to see that women were subsequently
fired or forced to resign.

The boycott is working! Since 1977,
Coors has expanded its market from ll
to 38 states, yet less Coors beer was
sold in 1985 than in 1977.
