Pepsi

On 8 September 2010, workers of one of the production sites of LLC PepsiCo Holdings in the town of Domodedovo, Moscow region, founded a trade union organization which joined the Agro-industrial workers’ trade union of Moscow and thus became an IUF affiliate.

Members of the trade union said it was management’s standard answer to any question related to labor issues or conditions of work that motivated them to organise – “If you do not like it – you can leave”! The workers are convinced: they have legal rights and those rights should be well defended.

The IUF is working on creating an international Pepsico Workers network to exchange information, build cooperation and strengthen unions in  one of the most important food and beverage companies, Pepsico, producing and distributing soft drinks and snacks under  a number of global brands such as Pepsi, Frito Lay, Walker's, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, 7up, Tropicana, Aquafina,  Quaker,and others.

IUF affiliates interested in linking up to the network can contact the Pepsi network coordinator.

Pepsi workers, Unions staff and other parties interested in the network can subscribe to our Pepsico workers mailing list.
