Teamsters Strike Coca-Cola PRNewswire
'Coke's greed has put nearly 500 San Diego families in jeopardy,' said Jack Cipriani, International Vice President and Director of the Teamsters Brewery & Soft Drink Workers' Conference. 'It is unconscionable that Coke would turn on the very people who work so hard to make the company the number one selling soft drink brand in the United States. Paying for those health benefits would have cost CCE less than what the company earned in 17 minutes last year.'
The Coca-Cola Company, the majority shareholder of CCE, recently awarded a $24 million 'golden parachute' to its departing president, Steven Heyer who served only three years with the company.
'Rather than lavishing departing executives with millions of dollars, the company should address the health care needs of workers,' said Jim Hoffa, Teamsters General President. 'Heyer's payout alone could have covered health care costs for thousands of Coca-Cola Teamster families.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:20 AM :: reference link ::
