COKE CAN'T HIDE ITS CRIMES IN COLOMBIA

Isidro Segundo Gil, an employee at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Colombia, was killed at his workplace by paramilitary thugs. His children, now living in hiding with relatives, understand all too well why their homeland is known as &quot;a country where union work is like carrying a tombstone on your back.&quot;

A chilling description of Gil's assassination, based on eyewitness accounts, is the centerpiece of a lawsuit filed in Miami in July 2001 against Coca-Cola, Panamerican Beverages (the largest soft drink bottler in Latin America) and Bebidas y Alimentos (a bottler owned by Richard Kirby of Key Biscayne, Fla., which operates the plant in which Gil was killed.</div></div>

you know I never understood the US disdain for Unions..... The two nations that htey destroyed militarily and rebuilt successfully(Germany and Japan)one thing both had in common was the fact that the US occupation forces allowed unions to develop... Independent Unions should be seen as a sort of proto-poltical parties methods to oppose the goverment in a context of the rule of law. A kind of counterbalance to the South American Oligarchs.. Because they have a single interst the rights of workers, a union would force use to think of ourselves collectively... think of this had workers in Iraq been given a union it would have been a step to disuade the secterianism of the Sunni Shiite split....
