Coca-Cola karma: irony in advertising? Since being hired by a Coca-Cola bottler in Colombia, Mendoza has represented workers in their attempts to procure decent wages and other benefits. For the efforts of his union, some employees of Coca-Cola bottlers in Colombia make over twice the minimum wage of $115 per month. Mendoza makes about $260 per month.
Unfortunately, the rewards of union efforts have not been entirely positive. Paramilitary groups have killed seven employees of Coca-Cola bottlers - all union members - in Colombia since 1990.------------------------------------------- posted 7:28 AM :: reference link ::
