Coca-Cola To Axe Nearly 300 Jobs
The loss of nearly 300 jobs at Coca Cola Enterprises (CCE) was described as "a devastating blow" by Unite.
Unite will be seeking greater clarification of the full impact, following the announcement that CCE is to exit its DSD (Direct Store Delivery) operation resulting in 288 redundancies, 160 of whom are Unite drivers and warehouse workers.
The sites impacted include Bristol, East Kilbride, North London, Northampton, Sidcup and Wakefield.
Unite national officer for food and drink Jennie Formby said: "This news will be a devastating blow for our members and their families, especially in the current economic climate of austerity, welfare cuts and now rising unemployment.
"It is too early to make a detailed analysis of the announcement. However, our immediate priority must be to get full details of the reasoning behind this decision and to examine what alternatives there could be for our members.
"Cola Coca Enterprises is a highly profitable and successful global company and we will be doing everything in our power to protect jobs."
