    Uruguay's only industrial brewer negotiates cutting 80 jobs or ending production

    The company, owned by Brazil's Ambev, itself part of Belgium's AB InBev, employs slightly more than 500 people

    Fábricas Nacionales de Cerveza (FNC), Uruguay's only industrial beer producer, is negotiating with the government and the trade union a restructuring that would cut 80 of the 400 jobs at its Montevideo and Minas plants. The company keeps a second scenario on the table, which the parties involved regard as less likely: abandoning local production and operating as an importer, with a workforce reduced to around 100 employees.
