Anger over loss of 256 Coca-Cola jobs

COCA-COLA has been accused of corporate greed following its decision to close its Drogheda plant next year with the loss of 256 jobs.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Micheál Martin described the announcement as a great blow to the Coca-Cola employees.

In a scathing criticism of the decision, TEEU Regional Secretary Arthur Hall said the decision was an illustration of “corporate greed at its worst”.
