Listed below are union leaders at Coca-Cola’s Colombian bottling plants who have been murdered. Hundreds of other Coke workers have been tortured, kidnapped and/or illegally detained by violent paramilitaries, often working closely with plant managements.

    Nestlé’s anti trade union strategy, and the complicity of the Colombian government, has been aimed at destroying the local trade unions based on threats, intimidation, kidnappings and harassment. Similarly the company has been responsible for violent actions against union leaders of the organisation- Check out the NOT FOR SALE documentary!
