Coca-Cola Drivers Increase Pay in Missouri (5/18/10)

RWDSU Local 125 members deliver Coca-Cola products from the bottler in St. Joseph, Missouri, to locations throughout the area. Earlier this month, the route drivers there ratified a new three-year contract that raises wages 2.5 percent every year of the contract. It also increases pension benefits, and weekly disability pay. The contract will improve the safety shoe allowance, vacation eligibility, the dental plan, and provide drivers with the opportunity to further increase pay by improving base and commission weekly rates.

The contract was overwhelmingly approved.
