Colombia Demands Justice Boycott Killer Cola The Taste of Social Injustice Taste of Social Injustice Coca-Cola faces a growing boycott on U.S. college campuses and abroad, thanks to a campaign carried out by veteran labor activist Ray Rogers, who says Coke hasn't done enough to prevent violence against workers at its bottling plants in Colombia. Coca-Cola and its bottlers argue that the workers were simply caught in the crossfire of Colombia's four-decade-old civil war between leftist guerrillas, the army, and paramilitary death squads. In December O5, New York University and the University of Michigan became the 20th and 21st U.S. colleges or universities to ban Coke products from their campuses. The National Union of Students, a purchasing co-op for more than 200 British student unions, is debating whether to renew Coke's contract. A number of Italian institutions also have joined the growing boycott. A DEFINITE ARTFUL PROTEST!!
