We Have A Coke™ Problem On Campus!

The McMaster Student Action Committee has started a petition drive to reassess McMaster's relationship with Coca-Cola.

Coke is currently being sued by the USWA, on behalf of Colombia unionists, for cooperating with paramilitary death squads in a campaign to destroy the labour-union movement at Coke factories in Colombia. Right now, 3 out of 5 unionists killed in the world are from Colombia!

We are appalled that our university is cooperating with a company implicated with such terrible human rights abuses - and we want this relationship to end now!

For more information on how to add your name to the petition email MSAC.

For more information on the labour practices of Coke and events in Colombia we've provided links and such here.
