UK Coca-Cola workers to strike

Workers at the biggest UK distribution centre of drinks giant Coca-Cola are to stage two 48-hour strikes in a row over pay, it was announced today.

New super-union Unite said the walk-outs on July 26-27 and August 13-14 at the site in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, will have a “significant impact” on the supply of Coke and other drinks such as Dr Pepper and Oasis to stores across the country.
