Resist the Multinational Empire
The Coca Cola Boycott


An international boycott of all Coca Cola products was called in July this year by Colombian Trade Unions and the World Social Forum. Over recent years eight trade union leaders working at Coca Cola bottling plants in Colombia and the wife of one them have been assassinated by paramilitary death squads. Yet despite a US court accepting that its subsidiaries have a case to answer, Coca Cola still refuses to cooperate and protect the lives of workers in Colombia.

Come and discuss how we can ensure that Coca Cola listens, how boycotts can work and how people all over the world are resisting the ‘multinational empire’.

With
Luis Eduardo Garcia, SINALTRAINAL, Colombian Food and Drink Workers Union

Reports on the Coca Cola boycott from across the country

Plus speakers and workshops: Shankar Gopalakrishnan on Coca Cola in Kerala, the boycott of Israeli goods, No Sweat: campaigning on multinationals, campaigns against Nestle and BP.
