[...] The Latin American Banana Workers' Unions (COLSIBA) has denounced the hellish conditions work prevail in the domains of Chiquita work more than 12 hours, women and children of 14 are exposed, like men, the effects of DBCP, a banned pesticide that causes sterility, cancer, lung congestion and congenital deformities in children. This is the coup and Honduras Chiquita want to preserve. Also Hillary Clinton, why not: Micheletti recently praised for his "wise policies."
"In Honduras, a mule is more expensive than a member of Parliament, once said derogatory director of United Fruit, Sam" The Banana Man "Zemurray, when the company began operations in early the last century. In the 20s it controlled nearly a quarter of the arable land in Honduras and it was dedicated to overthrowing elected governments in the polls, like that of Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954. In the late '90s, Chiquita was inspired by his example and paid $ 1.7 million to paramilitary groups to control the cultivation and distribution of bananas in Colombia: dozens of workers ended up dead in the plantations, the company was sued by relatives of those killed and bought their impunity by a fine of $ 25 million imposed by a U.S. judge. Chiquita financed Colombian terrorists, but never admitted to blacklist the State Department. Is that not all terrorists are alike.
