Urgent Action: Bucaramanga Coca-Cola Workers Receive Imminent Death Threat

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Thursday December 20, 2007 15:07author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Coke is certainly the real thing, once again it is using Rightwing Death-squads to terrorise and murder workers.

In the last fortnight, three Coca-Cola workers in Bucaramanga, Colombia have
been told that before the end of December they will be killed and buried in
a mass grave. The threat demands that their union cease all protest against
Coca-Cola.

The men – Luis Eduardo, Jose Domingo and Nelson Perez – belong to
SINALTRAINAL, the trade union representing Coca-Cola workers in Colombia.
Union president Javier Correa and his family have been receiving similar
threats. Since 1994, nine Coca-Cola workers have been murdered by
paramilitary death squads in response to the union’s resistance.

The paramilitary group Aguilas Negras (Black Eagles) have claimed
responsibility for this threat and the five others issued to SINALTRAINAL
members this year, demanding that they cease all protest against the
company.


You can take action:

Boycott Cocoa-Cola products!

Call on Coca-Cola Corporation and its bottling subsidiary FEMSA to:

* provide immediate protection for the threatened workers - Luis
Eduardo Garcia, Jose Domingo Florez, Nelson Perez, Javier Correa - and their
families;

* denounce the Black Eagles as the authors of these threats and
demands that they be brought to justice.
