💨 Abstract

Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa plans to cut 680 jobs, primarily in administrative, support, distribution, and cleaning roles, as part of a major restructuring. The company will close plants in Bloemfontein and East London due to financial pressures and industry changes. Unions like FAWU are pushing back, accusing the company of violating labor laws by consulting employees individually before formal union discussions.
