Solidarity Needed-Colombian Military Invade Coca-Cola Bottler In Medellin To Break Union And Terrorize Workers
Javier Correa (SINALTRAINAL) this is an emergency!
WORKERS FIGHT
Newsletter of SINALTRAINAL
Since December 18, 2010, the police entered by force to Coca Cola bottler in the city of Medellín, authorized by the president of Coca cola. They entered with armored tanks, shields, firing weapons to chemical fumes, intimidating and pressuring the sub-contract workers who were protesting. They militarized the dispute and forced workers to desist and accept verbal commitment of the multinational that promised to resolve the conflict, but simultaneously the workers were notified of their dismissal. Since then, the police remain in the Coca Cola bottling plant, 24 hours a day, terrorizing workers.
The police is present at all meetings of the factory, even in the restaurant area and workers should take their food under the pressure. This militarization of the labor dispute is an attack of international humanitarian laws, is further evidence of the brutal procedure of Coca Cola and the warmongering alliance between the military and multinational forces to suppress workers and Sinaltrainal. Tramples on human rights, violating the right of association and freedom of association and placing in jeopardy the lives of workers, with the complicity of the authorities who have stated this fact and remain silent complicity.
We call upon the international community to speak out against this abuse of Coca Cola
