Suit is filed against Coke by current, past employees who allege racial bias

Article Abstract:

A class-action lawsuit was brought against Coca-Cola Co. of Atlanta by African American employees for race discrimination. The company says the suit is without merit, but plaintiffs contend otherwise. Coke allegedly has not only a glass ceiling but glass walls, whereby the company keeps what few blacks it has in management in certain departments, but not allowing them in others. Also, the wage gap has widened from 1995 when the median salary for blacks was $34,000, but $55,000 for whites; in 1998 those figures went to $36,000 compared with $65,000.

Wendy's picks Coke as drink for its stores

Article Abstract:

Wendy's International Inc. has announced that Coca-Cola Co. will serve as its exclusive supplier of soft drinks between 1998 and 2008. The announcment represents a setback for PepsiCo Inc.'s attempts to cut into Coke's dominant fountain-dispensed soft drink market share. Wendy's will not permit franchises to take Pepsi products. Those Wendy's franchises that already have Pepsi will be told to transfer to Coke.
