Coca-Crime


Coca-Cola's abuses as a corporate polluter and violater of human rights are reaching critical mass. Student, worker, and environmental groups have increasing concerns about Coke's destruction of natural resources as well as their worker and human rights abuses in the U.S and abroad. Coke is accused of contaminating water and farmland in India . Coke is facing a lawsuit for allegedly allowing death squads in Colombia to murder eight pro-union employees. In the U.S. , Coke paid $192 million to settle an employee lawsuit over its widespread racial discrimination. And now Coke’s latest restructuring could destroy good jobs, retirement security, and health care coverage for many Americans.
Today, join the thousands around the world who are calling on Coca-Cola to end these abuses.
