A union that represents workers at Liberty Coca-Cola's North Philadelphia facility have gone on strike.
said Sunday that the union -- which noted that it represents more than 3,000 drivers, warehouse/production workers and sales/marketing personnel -- went on strike, citing issues with a recently proposed contract.
“The hardworking members of Teamsters Local 830 have had enough and, frankly, so have I,” said Daniel Grace, secretary-treasurer for the union, in a statement. “From the outset of our lengthy negotiations on a new contract, Liberty Coca-Cola has treated my members and the entire process with disdain. For a company that calls itself 'the annual top performer in sales and revenues,' their last contract proposal was insulting.
A statement from the union notes that Teamsters Local 830 members"overwhelmingly rejected Liberty Coca-Cola’s latest contract proposal and unanimously voted to strike."Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters. Officials with the union said that picket lines were being set up on Sunday afternoon and they will remain up at Liberty Coca-Cola’s Philadelphia plant, located along East Erie Avenue in North Philadelphia, and at other Liberty Coca-Cola locations "until the contractual dispute is settled."This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
