On 24 April 2020, a few chosen members of the former Special Negotiating Body met with the central management of Coca-Cola European Partners by video link to establish a temporary Steering Committee for the duration of the Coronavirus pandemic. This is to ensure a minimum level of information and consultation on an ad hoc basis until the new EWC is able meet for the first time and elect a Steering Committee. Originally, the constituent meeting was to take place in London at the end of March 2020.
The EWC agreement for the Coca-Cola Company's largest independent bottler of beverages with over 50 bottling plants in Western Europe was signed in November 2019 after long and tough negotiations (see report in EWC News 1/2020). Two originally independent European works councils were dissolved as their workforces are now also represented by the new EWC. The central management is based in London and the EWC comes under UK jurisdiction.
