Unionized beer delivery and distribution workers went on strike Tuesday after the union and Manhattan Beer & Beverage Distributors failed to reach a new contract covering 600 employees.  

Dozens of the demonstrators gathered for a protest outside of Manhattan Beer Distributors location in Wyandanch.

The beverage distributors are responsible for delivering beer to bars and restaurants across Long Island and New York City.
