Teamsters agree to contract
Teamsters-led workers at Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Las Vegas have ratified a proposed contract with the beverage distributor, averting a strike.
About 112 workers at the plant, who are represented by Teamsters Local 14, had voted twice to reject company contract proposals in May. Workers had also voted to authorize a strike at the North Mojave Road plant.
Sticking issues for the workers were health benefits and a provision the company tried to include barring the workers from engaging in sympathy pickets with other unions.
Gary Mauger, secretary-treasurer of Local 14, said those issues were resolved in the new contract.
"We're just glad it's over," Mauger said.
He declined to reveal details about the settlement.
Bob Phillips, a spokesman for Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Las Vegas, declined to comment on the ratified contract.
