Brazil

As reported by STI Bebidas, the trade union for the Coca-Cola bottler Remil in Minas Gerais, Brazil, which has been acquired by Coca-Cola Femsa some months ago, wage negotiations have reached a deadlock. Read an interview with union president Hamilton Jeronimo da Silva in Spanish on the  REL-UITA website.

Workers at the Coca-Cola FEMSA distribution centre in Cosmopolis, Brasil, succeded to repeat the achievement of their colleagues in Jundiai and removed the "working time account" system, a form of working time flexibilisation detrimental to workers.
