Employees at Coca Cola in Beckley, WV voted to join Teamsters Local 175 early this year. After 5 months of negotiations between the TeamstersUnion and Coca Cola, the parties have been able to reach an agreement on a number of issues that would become part of a new contract. However, those negotiations came to a halt on Friday afternoon when the Company informed the Union they were unwilling to make any changes to their health insurance plan which includes outrageously high deductibles as well as co pays for the newly organized workers. To put it in perspective, the company wants the Beckley employees to pay 2-3 times more for a health insurance plan than other unionized employees in the State. Meaning those employees could be subject up to $12,000 per year of out of pocket expenses.

The West Virginia AFL-CIO notes with great sadness the passing of former Harrison County Delegate and steadfast friend of working families Ron Fragale.
“Delegate Fragale was the perfect example of a statesman who acted solely in the best interest of his constituents, especially the workers who most needed a voice in the West Virginia Legislature,” WV AFL-CIO President Josh Sword said.

On July 31, 2024 Teamster members at River Oaks in Clarksburg WV, a CommuniCare nursing home facility, voted by approximately 93% to reject the Company’s final offer and authorize a strike.
The union workforce has sent a message that the Company’s final offer fails to address the fundamental lack of respect shown to them. Some employees pay well over 50% of their health insurance premiums for substandard coverage that does not include WVU Medicine in its network. The Company’s final wage proposal does little to overcome the health insurance cost or bring many of the employees to a livable wage. Employees regularly must work 16-hours because the facility is so short staffed.
