===Threats===
In 1996 Ariosto became the new plant manager of Bebidas y Alimentos,  a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Carepa, Colombia. According to the plaintiff's complaint, Ariosto Mosquera publicly announced that he had given an order to the paramilitaries to carry out the task of destroying the Coca-Cola bottling union. Mosquera, in the presence of paramilitary forces...told a member of the local Sinaltrainal executive board that he would "sweep away the union".
===Murder===
On December 5, 1996, at 9:00 in the morning, two paramilitaries approached Isidro Gil, who was then involved in negotiations on behalf of the union with Bebidas y Alimentos a Colombian Coca-Cola bottling plant in Carepa, Colombia, as he stood in the entrance of the Bebidas y Alimentos plant. They asked him if he was in fact Isidro Gil…Isidro Gil proceeded to open the door and the two paramilitaries then shot him to death inside the plant. That same night, these same paramilitaries went to the local union hall of Sinaltrainal and started a fire...
===Paramilitary threats===
Two days after Gil's murder the paramilitaries appeared at the Coca-Cola bottling plant.  They assembled the workers and told them that Coca-Cola bottling did not want the union at the plant. The paramilitaries explained that the workers had the option of either resigning from the union or leaving Carepa altogether otherwise they would be killed. The paramilitaries then proceeded to direct the workers into the manager’s office to sign resignation forms which were prepared by the manager of Coca-Cola bottling plant Ariosto Mosquera. As a result of the threats of the paramilitaries, workers resigned en masse from Sinaltrainal union.
===Destruction of the union===
In fear for their lives...the remainder of the local Sinaltrainal executive board, fled Carepa after this meeting on December 7, 1996. As a result of the flight of these individuals and the resignation of the other workers from the union, the local Sinaltrainal union in Carepa was destroyed. This union has never returned to Carepa.  The company broke off contract negotiations, the paramilitaries camped outside the plant gate for the next two months, and the union was crushed. Experienced workers who made about $380 a month were replaced by new hires earning minimum wage ($130 a month).

message: I see this line in the article 
"As of April 10, 2007, the ILO investigation is severely behind schedule"
it is now May 2011, so 4 years have passed, surely there must have been some update ?
I might see if I can find anything via google

thread_title:  nothing happened since 2007 ? 

message: By mutual agreement of Coca-Cola and the IUF, the U.N.'s International Labor Organization started an investigation into the company's Colombia operations.  All mention of this investigation was removed from the article by  on the grounds that it was insufficiently sourced.  The ILO website has a report, here, that summarizes the findings of the investigation.  This material should be incorporated into the article.  67.188.230.128 (talk) 05:12, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Would anyone object if I converted the reference style to the more common reflist approach, rather than ref note? I would rather add refs after changing style, if no one objects.
Better references are available, including on this talk page.Jonpatterns (talk) 21:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to find background information on the company 'Bebidas y Alimentos'. I can not find anything from a web-search. It doesn't help that Bebidas y Alimentos seems to be a common phrase, and also that I don't speak Spanish. Jonpatterns (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
