Coca-Cola Co., the world’s largest soft drink maker, plans to fire 750 employees in its U.S. division following a February decision to pare its distribution regions from seven to three.
The cuts in the coming months will represent about 1 percent of jobs in Coca-Cola’s North American unit, which covers the U.S. and Canada, Scott Williamson, a spokesman, said today in an interview. A quarter of the job losses will be in Atlanta, where Coca-Cola is headquartered, he said.
