Coke cuts ties with P.A. Bottlers, job losses loom
Coca-Cola’s decision not to renew its distribution agreement with local soft-drink distributor Prince Albert Bottlers Ltd will involve job cuts, some of which could be in Prince Albert.
On Tuesday, P.A. Bottlers announced that its contract with Coca-Cola Refreshments (CCR) Canada will end on July 2.
P.A. Bottlers and PAB Vending on March 17 gave notice to some employees that they will lose their jobs. P.A. Bottlers plans to offer “assistance” to the affected employees.
How the job losses will be distributed is not yet clear, but about 60 jobs across its operations will be cut.
