      The fact that this is a law at all is the real travesty, it’s shameful.

      EVERYONE who reads this must do 2 things:

      1) CALL Coke Canada and tell them until they make this situation right you’re going to have to terminate buying Coke products because continuing to buy them is going to be too hard on your moral sense of right and wrong.

      2) PASS this to everyone you know, including the media to bring attention to how they’re treating one loyal 35-year employee is how they can treat any or all of us. The one thing they don’t want is scrutiny and attention, and that’s the one thing that they’re going to get.

      Very unfortunate, but I do hope he got short term disability, long term disability, and of course a nice settlement for the injury?

      Apparently not…

      >The company offered him a one time „gratuitous“ lump sum payment of $2,511.20, „in recognition“ of his 35 years of service and to support his transition away from Coke Canada Bottling.

      It looks like Coke shifted responsibility to WCB Alberta, which he’ll be getting 90% income until 65. I believe I heard on an employment law show on CFRB 1010 in Toronto that WCB can impact other forms of compensation?

      $2500 and an NDA for 35 years of employment, after an injury caused by employer negligence, because anything more would be „undue hardship“.

      >On its website, Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited describes itself as a „Proudly independent and family-owned“ distributor of Coca-Cola products. It operates separately from the Coca-Cola Company.

      >It employs over 6,000 people nationwide. In January, it opened a $75-million state-of-the-art, AI-enabled facility in Calgary next to the building where Hopkins worked for decades.

      Don’t worry though, they’re growing with AI!

      Very disgusting that they even offered him $2500, I hope he get in touch with some sort of worker injury attorney. I don’t understand Albertan labour laws but it’s obvious that this type of law was lobbied for by big companies.

      Take this kind of story as a reminder that you as an employee do not owe loyalty of any sort or commitment to any company, no matter how big or small. Things change over time, companies can grow and at the end of the day, if there is a buck to be saved, they will take it.

      35 years of service and suffers an injury on the job. His reward was a rare loophole to be terminated and a „gracious“ offer of $2500. Plus of course the need to sign an NDA… just insulting.
