"Chicago, IL - More than one hundred people marched here, May 3, to protest the killing of Colombian trade unionists by Coca-Cola's death squads. Marching through the mostly Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen, many people on the streets chanted with the protesters or stood and applauded in solidarity with Colombian trade unionists.
The spirited march went to the Coca-Cola distribution plant, where a rally took place. Colombian Coca-Cola trade unionist, Luis Adolfo Cardona, told the crowd, "I am happy to be here with you at the first protest against Coca-Cola in Chicago and the largest protest in the U.S. in our
campaign against Killer Coke! Coca-Cola is getting the message that workers and students in the U.S. are organizing towards the worldwide boycott on July 22."
An international meeting of all Coca Cola workers was held in New York city on March 4th this year. This was organised by International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers Associations (IUF), the Chairperson for the meeting was Tim Ferrari (LHMU, Australia.)
