Spain: Coca Cola workers go on strike against plant closures
Around 300 employees of Coca Cola's plant in Fuenlabrada, Madrid, started a strike action against the closure of four factories across the country, on Friday.
Workers have also planned demonstrations in three other towns with threatened factories, Alicante, Asturias and Mallorca , which they said will continue indefinitely. Unions have called on people through social networks to refrain from drinking Coke until the situation is settled.
The strike follows the announcement of Coca Cola's Spanish subsidiary that it will close all four plants. The move will affect 1,250 jobs, with more than 700 employees being laid off and 500 relocated.
