Colombian Trade Unions call for an endto Coca Cola support for attacks on trade unionists.
Support 22nd July "Stop Killer Coke" day.

Another chance to operate on a global scale. See below and go to the web link for more information.

"Chicago, IL - More than one hundred people marched here, May 3, to protest the killing of Colombian trade unionists by Coca-Cola's death squads. Marching through the mostly Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen, many people on the streets chanted with the protesters or stood and applauded in solidarity with Colombian trade unionists.

The spirited march went to the Coca-Cola distribution plant, where a rally took place. Colombian Coca-Cola trade unionist, Luis Adolfo Cardona, told the crowd, "I am happy to be here with you at the first protest against Coca-Cola in Chicago and the largest protest in the U.S. in our
campaign against Killer Coke! Coca-Cola is getting the message that workers and students in the U.S. are organizing towards the worldwide boycott on July 22."


An international meeting of all Coca Cola workers was held in New York city on March 4th this year. This was organised by International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers Associations (IUF), the Chairperson for the meeting was Tim Ferrari (LHMU, Australia.)

On a similar note, Bradford University now have their ID cards sponsored by coca cola. Meaning everytime we go into the library we are reminded of coca-cola. But at least we don't have to pay for ID cards anymore - that's nice isn't it.
