Close to 100 XXXX brewery workers will walk off the job next week in a move that could disrupt beer supplies to the Commonwealth Games.

The Brisbane workers, who will strike next Monday, are fed up with job insecurity and threats to water down their conditions after nearly a third of their workforce was made redundant in recent years.

United Voice Queensland spokesperson Damien Davie said management needs to come to the bargaining table or they'll risk disrupting the beer supply for the games.
