Not only does this company export jobs, it exports murder for corporate profits and to break the backs of its employees and subcontractor's employees.

Petition Text:
Dear Coca-Cola Board Members,
I am shocked to learn of your indifference to the safety of workers who bottle your products. There are undisputed reports that Coca-Cola bottling plant managers in Colombia, South America, allowed and encouraged paramilitary death squads to murder, torture and kidnap SINALTRAINAL leaders and members in an effort to crush their union. You dismiss such charges, but you can’t escape the fact that massive human rights violations have occurred. Coca-Cola is responsible for the actions of its partners in Colombia. Apart from any legal liability you will face, you have failed to use your influence to end violence against workers and their families. Your silence, both individually and as a board, is scandalous. I ask you to act now to ensure that workers’ basic human rights are respected. I cannot support a company that profits from murder and torture. If you do not act responsibly, I will encourage my friends, family and colleagues not to purchase any Coca-Cola products, including Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid, Nestea, Powerade, Swerve daily drink and Dasani water, nor to do business with SunTrust, the bank of “Killer Coke.”
Please let me know how you intend to address my concerns.
Sincerely, |
