Teamsters Shut Down Ohio Coca-Cola Operations Amid Contract Dispute
Teamsters at Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc. have extended their unfair labor practice strike to additional company operations in Ohio, affecting over 300 employees.
The union claims that management has failed to seriously bargain with them and is refusing to offer a fair contract, including wages, affordable healthcare, and protection of workers' rights.
Local 135 members are demanding better working conditions and respect for their lawful right not to cross or work behind the picket line.
Coca-Cola Consolidated has put 'unserious offers on the table,' according to a merchandiser at Coca-Cola Consolidated, Mark Morris.
