In Colombia, for example, union workers who bottle Coca Cola products have been kidnapped, tortured and murdered. The largest Coca Cola union in Colombia has asked for an international campaign against Coke to stop the violence against workers, which has included a half-dozen murders at one plant alone in the mid-1990’s. Reports of these crimes sparked a historic lawsuit against the Coca Cola Company and their Colombian bottler by the International Labor Rights Fund and the United Steelworkers of America on behalf of the Colombian union. http://houston.indymedia.org/news/2003/04/11176.php Lawsuit Charges Coca-Cola with Complicity in Attacks on Colombian Union Activists Interview with Terry Collingsworth, executive director of the International Labor Rights Fund, conducted by Melinda Tuhus Killer Coke Demonstration 4/16 As coca-cola held its annual shareholders' meeting, about 30 to 40 people gathered outside of the four seasons hotel (1300 lamar st.) to voice their disgust with this world-wide known corporation.
