There is a possibility of shortage of Coke and other soft drinks in the UK due to an impending strike by Unite workers at the Wakefield soft drinks factory, which is the largest in Europe.
This strike could have a significant impact on production, as the factory is capable of producing a large amount of cans and bottles every hour.

Hundreds of employees are planning to join the strike, which is expected to last 14 days. As a result, products such as Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, Fanta Fruit Twist, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Fanta, Fanta Lemon and Sprite will be at risk.
Last year, Coca-Cola bosses made £15 billion in revenue, with an operating profit of £1.85 billion.
Union leaders are currently in talks with company executives to discuss a new wage deal, following a vote that resulted in 87% of workers opting to strike.

The wage agreement currently under discussion is six percent, but the workers are motivated for a higher increase and that is why they have decided to go on strike. They hope to get better conditions and wages just for their work at the soft drink factory.
Workers are seeking a higher wage rate, relying on the share of profits earned by the company, claiming that they are facing high prices in the market and cannot keep their families.
The 14-day strike is scheduled to start on June 14 and the possibility that it is just the first strike is not ruled out.
A Coca-Cola spokesman responded to the rumours, saying the wages assigned to workers are in line with what is offered by the market, saying they are "highly competitive".
Union leaders say they have good expectations about the stoppage, stating that it could cause major disruptions.
