Local 812 members at ACG have ratified a new 5-year contract, with no givebacks. 

The union’s bargaining committee negotiated annual raises and full funding to maintain health benefits with no additional costs to members.

A solid majority of Local 812 Coca-Cola members voted to ratify a new contract.  This follows member approval of new contracts at Pepsi-Cola NY and Pepsi-Cola Long Island.

Each contract upholds the high standards established by Local 812.  The agreements negotiated by the respective Union Contract Negotiation Committees preserve benefits for all members, include wage increases, and have no give backs. ...

Across the U.S.,  healthcare costs have been rising rapidly and are projected to continue growing.  It’s no surprise that medical coverage is a top issue in contract negotiations.  Local 812 is no exception.  
 
As costs rise, most American workers pay a greater share of the costs through higher deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance.  In many cases, these higher employee costs negate any wage gains.  Many families have also lost entire categories of benefits, such as dental, vision and hearing, as well as retiree benefits.

But not Local 812 members.

Support the Local 812 Scholarship Fund.

In addition to college students, scholarships are awarded to students enrolled in accredited trade and technical schools.

The event includes Smokehouse BBQ, an open bar, side by side bays, lifetime membership and a door prize and raffle.
