The workers have taken $2.65 an hour less in wages over the last five years in exchange for no increase in health insurance premiums. Bosses now want to tear up that agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">The bottling plant are planning to implement a scheme in which customers will come and collect their deliveries, rather than have them delivered. This will mean the loss of many driving jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Striking staff intend on leafleting local supermarkets and stores, to highlight the behaviour of Coca Cola.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Coca Cola are confident supply will not be affected. During previous strikes at the plant, they used management and sales staff in order to try and break the strikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/libcom.org\/blog\/teamsters-close-down-coca-cola-bottling-plant-17052012\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coca Cola worker in Connecticut walk off the job in response to attempts to reduce pay and benefits, and implement redundancies.
