Campaign against Coca Cola
On the 22 JULY 2003 a boycott campaign against Coca-Cola initiated by the Colombian Union SINALTRAINAL will officially begin. SinalTrainal organize workers employed by Coke Columbia and also those of the Nestlè. Last year the union has took action in the Court of Atlanta demanding an official indictment against Coke, accusing them of crimes against humanity for their involvement in the repression of workers by the paramilitaries. In the last few years paramilitaries have killed ten men and kidnapped and totured dozens of unionists.
On the 31st of March 2003 the judge of the Federal Court of Atlanta, Josè E. Martinez, decided that the penal procedure for the violation of the human rights can proceed. The union has decided to begin a world-wide boycott campaign parallel.
