Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

We are appealing to unions and their members, a major market for Coca-Cola, to remove all Coke products from their union halls, offices and workplaces until the company acts responsibly. All evidence shows that Coca-Cola is a corporate system full of lies, deception, immorality, corruption and widespread labor, human rights and environmental abuses. No union that prides itself a center of ethics and solidarity should be lending its name and credibility to Coca-Cola, nor serve as a marketplace for its sales and advertising.

Case No. 7:17-cv-2148 CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT ODWALLA, INC., and THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Defendants. Plaintiff Tara Casey (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of herself and all other persons similarly situated, files this Class Action Complaint (“Complaint”) against Defendants Odwalla, Inc., (“Odwalla”) and the Coca-Cola Company (“Coca-Cola”) (collectively “Defendants”), and alleges the following: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This is a proposed class action against Defendants for misleading consumers about the nature of the ingredients of Defendants’ “100% Juice” juices (“Products”) as compared to similar products. Defendant prominently label the Products with a “No Added Sugar” claim which does not comply with Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations promulgated pursuant to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (“FDCA”) regarding labeling nutrient content claims for sugar, regulations which are intended to stop the exact behavior in which Defendants are engaged. 2. FDA guidance provides that “the purpose of the ‘no sugar added’ claim is to present consumers with information that allows them to differentiate between similar foods that Case 7:17-cv-02148 Document 1 Filed 03/24/17 Page 2 of 16 would normally be expected to contain added sugars, with respect to the presence or absence of added sugars. Therefore, the ‘no added sugar’ claim is not appropriate to describe foods that do not normally contain added sugars.”1 3.
