Call Now to Defend Banana Workers
The US State Department is not cooperating with the Colombian prosecution of Chiquita for their use of paramilitary death squads to repress union organizing of banana workers. The Colombia Action Network delegation in 2006 met with union organizers in Santa Marta who described the severe level of intimidation & harassment union members face from paramilitaries who are hired by US corporations like Chiquita. For more information you can check out the links below. Please call the US State Department at 202-647-4000 and demand that the US not cover up Chiquita's bloody role in Colombia.
