Coca Cola and Nestlé both stand accused of serious human rights violations in Colombia. While Nestlé sack union members, Coca Cola kill them. Paramilitary Death Squads, acting under orders from Coca Cola management, have assassinated 8 trade union leaders in their workplaces. The union, SINALTRAINAL, has responded by calling for an international boycott of Coca Cola and all of their products, to start on 22 July 2003.
