摘要
This report explores the experience of Colombian Coca-Cola workers and their charges against the company and its bottlers. It is based on interviews conducted by the author with union leaders, Coca-Cola employees, and their family members in Bogota, Barrancabermeja, Bucaramanga, Barranquilla, and Cartegena between May 23 and June 5, 2004. It also draws on conversations with members of other labor unions and lawyers associated with the Coca-Cola case. It concludes that Coca-Cola bears more responsibility for the campaign of terror directed against its workers than the company is willing to admit and suggests steps that the American Anthropological Association can take to pressure Coca-Cola to change its business practices. This article was originally prepared as a report to the Human Rights Committee of the American Anthropological Association.
