The Coke strike is going into week four in Saskatoon.

58 employees of the Coca-Cola bottling Company in Saskatoon, members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, Local 558, walked off the job on Tuesday, June 9th.

Rocky Luchsinger (LUCK-singer), RWDSU Saskatchewan representative, says Coca-Cola’s last offer included the removal of Article 21, which forbids the company to contract out work.

Luchsinger says the members are not interested in signing away their own jobs.

There are no talks scheduled at this point.

The workers have been without a contract since January 1st.

The strike doesn’t apply to Coca-Cola in Regina, where employees are members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union.
