Drivers, Warehouse Workers Walk Off Job

Quote:
About 600 drivers and warehouse workers at Coca-Cola Enterprises in San Diego walked off the job July 1 in solidarity with Coca-Cola workers who went on strike in Oceanside over wage disparities, according to Teamsters Local 683, which represents the San Diego Coke employees. Local 683 Secretary-Treasurer Shannon Silva said Coca-Cola Enterprises is treating its Oceanside Coke employees as second-class citizens.

Man that must be really scarey for these folks. Especially when they are sitting along side the worlds largest temp employment source.

Something tells me the price of Coke will rise about 50% in the area. Or a lot of folks will be taking a pay cut.

They make quite a bit more than 12 bucks an hour in most classifications at Coca Cola - I think the issue was the extremely complicated swing shift schedule and time off policy the company implemented last year -

that and cutting out overtime by regulars and bringing in outside temps to cover the extra work.

Don't know if they were a tier 4 company site -

i'll check
