Union Craft Brewing becomes worker-owned

Union Craft Brewing is the latest Baltimore business and first Maryland brewery to switch to a worker ownership model, the Baltimore taproom and brewery announced Tuesday. The new model grants ownership shares to employees — whether they be full- or part-time — who have been with the brewery, located in Baltimore’s Medfield neighborhood, for five years. An inaugural group of worker-owners, who were recently granted ownership shares, is made up of six employees who have been with the company for five years or longer, including several of the breweries managerial-level staff members.
