Around 3% of the combined workforce of Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) and SABMiller (OTCPK:SBMRY) could be laid off in the three years following the completion of their merger, says AB InBev. That 3% though, excludes sales and front-office supply staff, as AB InBev says regulatory restrictions prevent it from moving forward with integration plans at the moment. Combined, the two companies currently employ about 220K people.
