In fact, a new report reveals that this partnership has resulted in hundreds of people losing their jobs at two glass bottling plants.<\/p>\n<p>The Ardagh Group, an international glass manufacturer, has announced the closure of a plant in Wilson, North Carolina, which employs around 400 individuals. Additionally, they reportedly plan to shut down a plant in Ruston, Louisiana, affecting 245 employees.<\/p>\n<p>The company released a statement, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hundreds-lose-their-jobs-at-glass-plant-that-made-bottles-for-bud-light-report\/\" title=\"Report: Glass plant that produced bottles for Bud Light lays off hundreds.\">multi-year performance optimization program<\/a>, involving targeted investments in enhanced capacity and ongoing cost optimization, underpins our ability to continue to provide existing and prospective customers with high quality, American-made sustainable glass packaging.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the specific reasons for the plant closures were not disclosed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/revealed-whistleblower-docs-show-big-4-firms-massive-anti-racist-indoctrination\/\" title=\"Revealed: Whistleblower Docs Show \u2018Big 4\u2019 Firm\u2019s Massive \u2018Anti-Racist\u2019 Indoctrination\">internal company documents obtained<\/a> by NBC affiliate WRAL News in mid-May suggest that the decision was influenced by slow sales with Anheuser Inbev, the parent company of Bud Light.<\/p>\n<p>According to the same publication, the North Carolina plant primarily produced bottles for Bud Light and Budweiser, and several long-time employees confirmed this.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the controversy surrounding Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch has experienced a significant decline in market value, losing billions of dollars. Recent figures indicate that weekly sales for Bud Light have continued to plummet, dropping by 26.8% for the week ending June 10.<\/p>\n<p>Experts from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ stated, &#8220;This was a tough week for Bud Light and other beer brands.&#8221; They reported a decline in beer sales as a whole, including Budweiser (10%), Natural Light (2.3%), and Michelob Ultra (2.4%) for the week ending June 10.<\/p>\n<p>Mulvaney, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/did-norway-just-criminalize-misgendering-a-trans-person-even-in-private-homes\/\" title=\"Did Norway Just Criminalize \u2018Misgendering\u2019 a Trans Person, Even in Private Homes?\">transgender individual<\/a>, expressed his disappointment with Anheuser-Busch in a video posted on social media. He criticized the company for not publicly supporting him and stated that this lack of support allows customers to freely express transphobia and hate.<\/p>\n<p>The controversial ad, featuring Mulvaney with his face on a special can, led to an overwhelming amount of bullying and transphobia. Mulvaney emphasized the negative consequences that such hate has on the entire LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n<p>Anheuser-Busch responded to Mulvaney&#8217;s statement by affirming their commitment to programs and partnerships with various communities, including the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>report states that Bud Light&#8217;s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has resulted in the closure of two glass bottling plants, causing numerous job losses.
