  • Teamsters on strike at Coca-Cola

    Picket line went up Monday morning at Coca-Cola in Toledo Ohio.

    Teamsters Local 20 strike begins outside Toledo Coca-Cola facility
    Coca-Cola Teamsters Local 20 workers are now on strike.
    Union members voted against ratifying a new contract Sunday night, then started striking at midnight as their existing contract expired.
    Workers said that after months of negotiations, the company's final offer had significantly higher health care coverage rates and insufficient wages.

    I am sure a full explanation will be forthcoming.

    Man struck by semi during Teamster strike at Ohio Coca-Cola plant
    A man was hit by a tractor trailer during a strike outside of a Coca-Cola Botting Co. Plant in Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday.
    The pedestrian strike occurred around 11:15 a.m. at the intersection of Catawba Street and West Sylvania Avenue as 54 year old truck driver Peter C. Johns was making a turn.
    Toledo police say that 59 year old Jeff Rudnicki was legally in the intersection but that he moved in a way that “intentionally caused him to be struck by the trailer.”
    The pedestrian strike occurred after Teamsters Local 20 went on strike on Monday, November 2 over contract negotiations.
    It isn’t clear whether Rudnicki was participating in the strike.

      Solidarity ! This is what unionism represents.

      Fellow union workers show support for Coca-Cola strike
      The sound of solidarity surrounded union workers striking outside Toledo’s Coca-Cola bottling plant on Sunday afternoon, as the Teamsters Local 20 union members were met with support from their brothers and sisters from UAW Local 12 and UAW Local 14.
      Fellow union workers organized a convoy down West Sylvania Avenue and around Catawba Street outside the plant, honking horns and standing alongside the picket line.
      “No matter what union it is, we believe in a philosophy of solidarity when one of our union brothers and sisters benefits and wages are being attacked it affects all the middle class working people," UAW Local 12 member and event organizer Phil Reiter said.

        These men and women have agreed to a new contract and returned to work.

        Teamsters Local 20 reaches agreement with Coca-Cola, ends Toledo strike
        TOLEDO, Ohio — Teamsters Local 20 workers have reached an agreement with Coca-Cola Consolidated after over two weeks of striking.
        The union reached an agreement, ratified a new contract Wednesday morning and returned to work Thursday.
        Their revised deal offers higher wages to compensate for raised health care coverage rates.
