RECENT HEADLINES FROM THE WORLDWIDE INDYMEDIA NETWORK:
Pepsi Union wins collective bargaining agreement
Puerto Rico Indymedia featured a story about a labor union at a Pepsi plant winning a new collective agreement. On March 9, 2015, members of the Trade Union Solidarity Movement representing 300 employees of a manufacturing plant that makes Pepsi products in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, fought off threats by management of eliminating worker rights and benefits amid a poor economy. The union was able to keep its jobs, raise wages, improve benefits, and increase employer contributions to employee health benefits. The contract runs through March 2018.
