Calsberg Factory workers Strike over Lack of Free On-the-Job Beer

Forget shorter hours or a living wage, workers in Denmark have come up with the greatest reason ever to go on strike: They are no longer able to drink free beer all day.

Granted, the 1,050 workers who walked off the job this week work in a Carlsberg factory, where the previous policy was that employees were allowed to grab as many beers from the plant's coolers as they like, so long as they didn't appear drunk on the job.

Now the on-the-job all-you-can-drink buffet will be limited to the cafeteria during lunch, prompting the walkout. In solidarity with the factory workers' strike, Carlsberg's truck drivers -- who are still permitted to bring up to three beers on the road with them -- are also refusing to work.

This is about when you jump in your time machine and go back a couple years so you can move to Denmark and get a job at the Carlsberg plant.

    Those poor workers, no wonder they feel hard done by. Now they might have to do an honest day's work.
