Since 1989, eight union leaders belonging to Sinaltrainal (Food and Beverage Workers' Union) have been murdered for their union activities in Coca-Cola bottling plants in Colombia. Coca-Cola has been charged in US federal courts with complicity in the murder, torture and intimidation of labor organizers in Coca-Cola bottling plants in Colombia.

In India, a massive community-led movement has emerged across the country to hold Coca-Cola accountable for its crimes, including creating severe water scarcity, polluting the groundwater and land, distributing toxic waste as fertilizer to farmers, and selling drinks in India with high levels of pesticides. One of Coca-Cola’s largest bottling plants has been shut down as a result of community pressure.
