Hear Camilo Romero of the National Food Industry Workers’ Union in Colombia
In recent years, hundreds of workers at Coca-Cola bottling plants have been tortured, kidnapped, illegally detained, and even assassinated by violent right-wing paramilitary groups who work closely with plant management.
Camilo Romero is a member of SINALTRAINAL, Colombia’s Food Industry National Worker’s Union, and served as national organizer of United Students against Sweatshops. As a student organizer he led the campaign to have the statewide University of California system cut its contract with Coca-Cola, due to extensive human rights abuses in Coke bottling plants in Colombia. He is leading a speaking tour to re-launch the campaign after failed negotiations with Coke.
