For a champion of Irish products im disapointed in the fact that your drinking either.

wtf has boycotting coca cola got to do with a drugs bust on a DAA employee...???

If anything, boycott the **** ers cos they're STILL on strike!

JONJO THE MISER

I shall tell ye a interesting story, over in Newfoundland in Canada you will find no store or shop, pub nor restaurant selling coca cola, why? because they screwed workers there many years ago and the whole place boycotted them:D, time for us Irish to do the same.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Buy Coke........................we know where you live "JONJO"!!!:)

Elliemental

I would join the boycott, but I honestly haven`t bought a fizzy drink/coca-cola product in years.

dyl10

I assume the teletext page has been changed with the link becomming obselete, hence the confusion?

Schism

I'm not a fan of Coke anyway so yeah go on, I'll boycott it. For the laugh.

coke and pepsi are both muck imo:)

Fratton Fred

Have they sacked all the workers at the factory? If we all boycott them, won't they all lose their jobs?

Oh and why dont we boycott Dell too, and then every other American Multi-National over the coming years that leaves due to our over inflated wages and costs, for christ sake it wont be long before we've boycotted every product and service available to the consumer!

The sole purpose of a company is to make money, not to provide jobs. If it feels it can make more money elsewhere then so be it, Coke owes this country nothing, nor the redundent employees (aside from the obvious payments associated), there were paid well im sure up til the decision was made.

As for the alleged comment from Coca Cola "we dont give two fcuks about the union", fair play to them, unions will have this country crippled shortly if they have their way.

Coke from a glass bottle FTW, I used work in a Coca Cola distribution centre and we were allowed have a few bottles of whatever we wanted every day, it was always coke from a glass bottle I went for... its just so damn nice.

But seeing as Im from Tipp Town and the workers in another Coca Cola distriution centre wont have a job for much longer im all for buoycotting the bastards.

No one has a right to a job, Coca Cola want to make money, they are not a public company, they go wherever is more competitive.
Sure they can stay here but expect to pay more.

I won't be boycotting anything.

netwhizkid

I think I'll just rip my teeth out with a pliers instead.

Fratton Fred

This remonds me of Sabena a bit. The management ca£e up with cost cutting measures and the union went on strike. Without the cost cutting the airline went bust and everyone lost their jobs.

The union then picketted outside the head office demanding their jobs back, they just couldn't get it through their thick heads that a company has to nake money or it goes bankrupt.

cute_cow

are coca cola not creating jobs in wexford when the new plant is finished??

http://www.wexfordpeople.ie/news/over-100-jobs-at-cocacola-1562725.html

Tell ya what, I didn't get contract renewed with a health care company, and received no extra payments or redundancy, boycott them for me :rolleyes::rolleyes:

boycott me arse there are hundreds, if not thousands who have had the same thing happen, you don't hear them peeing and moaning about it, they are dealoing with it like the rest of us. build a bridge....

Boycott SIPTU

BlueLepreachaun

Disclaimer: I'm not defending their outsourcing, they are scum.

Now thats out of the way, I can have a nice anti-SIPTU rant.

So, the SIPTU membership, who make what? €35,000-40 000 a year? at best? are having their wages garnished to pay Jack O'Connor €124,000 a year to come up with the following idea....

....they are taking 100 or so jobs...lets boycott the entire company thus putting it out of business and thus putting all of the remaining workers out of jobs.....yeh were I a member of SIPTU I'd resign and not come back until these current crop of dinosaurs who have been in charge what? a decade? are removed and someone paid the average pay of the membership, with a term limit, and some common sense, is hired instead.

The irony of this is in 05 they were handing out leaflets in UCD urging the student body to lift the coke boycott because...I S H I T YOU NOT...it would cost jobs...
