Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I'm in that branch, yet I was told anything about the AGM. I would have liked to go along. How do you find out when the meetings are on?
Usually notices are sent out to shop stewards, who whould then pass them on to the members on their job.
But there can sometimes be breakdowns in communication - you could contact the branch office in Liberty Hall and ask to be put on the branch email list for union statements and notices.
If you drink the non-diet version of Coca-Cola or any other soft drinks, they are full of sugar. And the news, long suppressed, is that sugar in that quantity is very bad for you.
The Ecologist recently did a special report on the effects of sugar called: Sugar and Spin at:
http://www.theecologist.org/archive_article.html?article=438&category=53
Other reports such as this one: Tumors Feed off Sugar:
http://www.meds.com/archive/mol-cancer/1998/08/msg02967.html
And yet another: The Harmful Effects of Soft Drinks
http://members.aol.com/profchm/Soft.html
Intake of soft-drinks (non-diet) is clearly linked to obesity.
And now to the other reason. If you decide to drink the diet forms of Coca-cola and other soft drinks, well don't. They contain artificial sweeteners. Look on the side of the can and you will seen Aspartame listed. This is an articifical sweetner. It should never have been allowed come on the market. The breakdown products of it are harmful.
For more about artifical sweeteners such as Aspartame, see:

So you see folks whatever way you look at it, you are not only helping workers get killed but you are slowly killing yourself too, no matter what brand or type you drink.
