More than 400 Coke Canada workers are currently on strike. “This is an unnecessary and unfortunate situation,” Kathy Murphy, Coke Canada Bottling spokesperson, told the Richmond News. “The union is seeking a magnitude of increases that go beyond what is offered in the industry, across our business and that we simply cannot accept,” she added. Murphy confirmed Coke Canada is deploying its “contingency plan” per B.C. During a previous interview, workers at the Richmond manufacturing facility picket line told the News about their struggles to keep up with the cost of living in the Lower Mainland.
