FOX 4 reports that talks begin in the fall, but have not yielding a new agreement. Teamster 997's secretary-treasurer Rick Miedema also stated that the company's spending on a Super Bowl commercial adds to the issue:

"It hurts the membership. The employees see a 30-second Coors Light ad for $7 million and that’s double or more of the package we had on the table to get the contract settled."

However, more than one product will be affected if the strike is to move forward.
