Coca-Cola Company: employees demonstrate against a European restructuring plan

According to FGA-CFDT, in addition to the 142 job cuts announced in France, there would be 119 job cuts in Belgium, 170 in England, 140 in Greece and 65 in the Netherlands. The EFTUF reminds that "Coca-Cola is a company of European size, and has signed a charter with trade unions, guaranteeing the consultation of the European work's council". The European federation "denounces the lack of information from European authorities but also the failure to respect legal and contractual obligations relating to the consultation of trade-union organizations".

On the other hand, following the demonstration, we addressed a letter to the headquarters in Atlanta and we will be received there by decision-makers at the end of February ".
