William Mendoza is the president of the Barrancabermeja section of Sinaltrainal, the Food Industry union that is suing Coca Cola for hiring paramilitaries to threaten and kill union organizers. “I have been a production worker for Coca-Cola for 14 years. I’m one of the 65 members of Sinaltrainal that are threatened with death by the paramilitaries. I have a security program that consists of three bodyguards, an armored vehicle, bulletproof vest, pistol, and machine gun. The bodyguards are with me all day, and some nights they stay in my house for increased security. My family has been victimized.” The war on terrorism and resistance to it reaches beyond Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan to the Philippines, Venezuela and Colombia and on. There will be additional reports on the connections between the war on Iraq and increased repression in Colombia and the antiwar movement in Latin America.
