At 12.20 on the 22nd of July , Breaking news!
At the north London Coke cola processing plant six people have locked on to gates and trucks at the the plant bringing production to a stand still, as I write they are still locked on and the plant is out of action.
Just now 12.36 another phone call police have arrived and my reporter has just been cut off the telephone as we spoke, more when I hear.

Good on you Killer coke activists.

In Melbourne we had around 150 people to a rally to launch the campaign down here.

Speakers from the Electrical tTrade Unions, watch what happens when the coke vending machines start to fail, Friends of the earth, the local Colombia Demands Justice campaign and the Australian Socialist Alliance.

Ssolidarity greetings were sent from the secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall.


STOP KILLER COKE

very succesful action

Wicked action - 14 on site -shut down the distribution from Cokes biggest UK bottling plant for over two hours.
10 arrests for 'conspiracy to commit burglary' and criminal damage - which is effin' laughable as most of us were locked on and couldn't do any of the above if we'd tried!
According to the cops it cost coke £30,000!!!
Nonody was charged as 'coca-cola decided not to persue the matter any further'!

RESULT!

Coke Bottles Out!!

Possibly a surreal part of action for me was to see security and Met crawling under aconveyor belt looking for D-Lock key whi some prankster had said that he had thrown
in that direction . Allthey had to do was look in pocket.There were other many strange actions Including desciption of burlary"stealing coa cola's"

poisoned and cheated

I was working at coca cola from the 13th of july until the 20th for a contractor at coca cola north London plant. I got food poisoning eating at the canteen there and the cheating scum that employed me, e-mail  kate.boaler@3resourcing.co.uk have only paid me for 3 days although I worked 6. the main contractor was a firm called Module Tech.
I never liked the sugar crap drink but this really left an unpleasant taste in my mouth.
The whole place had a very unpleasant atmosphere to work in

lets get these parasites and the others money grubbing trash sellers out
