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.
