MillerCoors Cutting Hundreds Of Employees

MillerCoors LLC announced Monday it will cut 200 salaried employees companywide, including 27 in Milwaukee.

Another 160 open salaried positions will not be filled, according to a statement provided by the Chicago-based joint venture.

The move is part of a restructuring of the brewer’s salaried work force “to create a more balanced, efficient organizational structure, reduce costs, drive accountability, improve execution and increase speed to market,” the company said in its prepared statement.

The eliminated positions constitute less than 2 percent of MillerCoors’ total work force and about 6 percent of its salaried employees, MillerCoors spokesman Jon Stern told The Business Journal.
