Workers strike at 2 Coke plants

Tuesday, May 24, 2005

Associated Press
Atlanta- More than 2,000 workers at plants in California and Connecticut that bottle Coca-Cola soft drinks went on strike Monday.

The workers, mostly production workers and delivery drivers, were in contract negotiations with Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., the world's largest beverage bottler. The workers walked out over the company's proposal that they pay more for health benefits. Coca-Cola Enterprises is a separate company from The Coca-Cola Co.

Chris Roos, the leader of Teamsters Local 1035 in East Hartford, Conn., said the strike was planned the week before Memorial Day to pressure the company to negotiate or jeopardize summer sales.

Despite the strike, the Connecticut plant was still running Monday. Asked if the strike would disrupt summer Coke deliveries, company spokesman Bob Lanz said, "Absolutely not."

Now I'm not the moderator, BUT, what the heck does this have to do with the majors board, unless you consider a "strike" as a suggestion to some of those taking hits recently. As a SWA guy, I hope this doesn't interrupt the flow of diet Coke I like to drink on each leg.

Or is "densoo" suggesting that airline workers who've already taken so many cuts should consider saying "enough is enough", like the striking Coca-Cola workers?
