Notes from abroad: Allied-Lyons PLC and Denmark`s Carlsberg AS plan to merge their British brewing operations into a 50-50 joint venture, Carlsberg- Tetley PLC. The venture will begin operating in March with 5,000 employees and about 18 percent of the British beer market…. More than 80 percent of Italy`s work force joined a general strike Tuesday, hailed as a great success by trade unions battling government austerity plans…. French unions plan to follow suit Thursday, calling for a national strike to show support for better pay and conditions.
