Coca-Cola closing plants in California

[Augustine_]

The U.S. has been hemorrhaging manufacturing employment for over four decades

That is also true. Our oligarchs seem to be doing fine, though. They just had a great taxpayer funded vacation in China.

After more than a century of bottling sodas in Ventura, a historic Coca-Cola manufacturing plant is preparing to shut its doors for good.

Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling announced the Ventura facility will permanently close on July 10, ending a 114-year run in the city and impacting dozens of workers, according to company filings and published reports.

The Ventura closure appears to be part of a broader consolidation effort by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, which has shuttered multiple California facilities in recent years.

The facility’s final day of operation is scheduled for July 10.


Sad to see this happen. Coca-Cola has shut down other plants in other states. Not quite sure what's going on with them.

Sounds like that's the case:

The shutdown will affect 85 employees. According to the spokesperson, 78 of those workers will be reassigned to other Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling facilities. Affected employees may also apply for open positions within the company or its sister organizations. The last day of operations is scheduled for July 10. Positions being eliminated include drivers, fleet mechanics, merchandisers, and customer growth representatives.

I used to live in Ventura, that plant is on a very diserable piece of property right off the 101 freeway in an area that is converting to high occupancy residential.

Don't drink pop. Just don't. Ever...

Coke is toxic waste! And the employees being laid off are most likely illegals so maybe it's not such bad news after all. But if I had to venture a guess as to why they're shutting down I'd say that the Marxist policies of the State's government has something to do with it.
