The resolution urges Sapporo, the owner of Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco, to work with employees through the process of co-op conversion and urges the company not to sell before workers have been able to raise sufficient funds for purchasing and make a fair bid.

The iconic craft brewery, established in 1896, notified employees about its plans to cease operations because of economic challenges.While the company has stopped brewing, Anchor said it will continue packaging and distributing the beer on hand while available or through around the end of July.The workers launched a bid to buy the 127-year-old brewery and run it as a co-op.
