Killer Coke: Colombia, Human Rights and Coca-Cola

Gerardo Cajamarca is a Colombian trade unionist and political leader who came to the US in exile in 2003 after receiving repeated death threats from a far-right paramilitary group. In Colombia, he worked for the food and beverage workers' union: SINALTRAINAL. Since 1994, seven SINALTRAINAL members working in Coca-Cola facilities have been murdered and hundreds more have been threatened by paramilitaries who operate with support from the Colombian Armed Forces and sometimes Coca-Cola's management. He currently works for the United Steelworkers of America in Minnesota.
