Teamsters: Desperate To Prevent Employees From Exercising Free Speech,
American Bottling Resorts To Harassment
CHICAGO, June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American
Bottling Company, a subsidiary of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE:
DPS) which is set to merge with Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. in July,
has crossed a line no one should ever cross.
Last week, a Dr Pepper manager singled out one of the union's female
business agents and allegedly threatened sexual assault against her,
her mother and her sister. According to the agent, a Dr Pepper
employee and manager said, "I'm going to f*** you, f*** your mother
and f*** your sister." When these unconscionable threats and sexually
explicit comments were promptly brought to the company's attention, Dr
Pepper responded not with the immediate launching of an investigation,
but by claiming the union was lying.
