Killer Coca Cola...?

I have been learning lately about the Human Rights Abuses which many people and much evidence say are true, and Coca Cola say are not true.

Here are some useful links, interesting YouTube videos, and some basic facts which Coca Cola state are not facts.

Make your own conclusions. 

Bad Stuff From Coca Cola: 

Basically (amongst many other things) Coca Cola are accused of working with a paramilitary organisation to intimidate and threaten (and also kill) workers in the bottling plant in Colombia who were trying to start a Union. The plant managers are accused of letting the people into the plant, and communicating with them.

Here are the main accusations coming from killercoke.org:
  • Overexploitation and Pollution of Water Sources in India (indiaresource.org), Mexico (ciepac.org), Ghana and elsewhere (polarisinstitute.org)
  • Benefiting from Hazardous Child Labour in Sugar Cane Fields in El Salvador as documented by Human Rights Watch (hrw.org)
  • Aggressive Marketing to Children of Nutritionally Worthless and Damaging Products (commercialexploitation.org and schoolpouringrights.com)
  • Anti-worker Policies in Turkey, Indonesia and worldwide
    (studentsagainstsweatshops.org and colombiasolidarity.org.uk)
  • Giving executives hundreds of millions of dollars in stock options and bonuses while laying off thousands of employees
  • History of Racial Discrimination
  • Fraudulent Business Practices
  • Tax avoidance and corporate welfare schemes
