No Coke Monster

No Coke Monster

After decreasing soda sales due to heightened awareness surrounding the health effects of sugary soft drinks, Coca-Cola decided to cash in on the energy drink trend by purchasing a stake in Monster Energy.

Researchers have shown that energy drinks can lead to adverse health events such as arrhythmias and seizures. Monster has been criticized for marketing to adolescents and refused to comply with certain marketing standards recommended by a U.S. Senate committee.

Help us demand that Coca-Cola drops its deal with Monster Energy!

Meet Michelle, cocktail server at the Cosmopolitan

My babies are the main reason that I am involved with the union. When I came to the Cosmo two years ago I was given hope that with our union recognition would come a timely contract and the Culinary union health insurance… the best health insurance. My oldest son was born prematurely and with a blood disorder and my newest addition was born with a congenital defect. 

We are all here for the same basic reasons and we are all making similar personal and economic sacrifices for this contract. 

I will sacrifice anything today to provide for my family tomorrow.
