>6. Sound Familiar?
>
>Fernando Meirelles, Director of the film, "The Constant Gardener," said in 
>the Bonus Features of the DVD: "We met with the chairman of a big 
>pharmaceutical company. The first thing he told us was 'This is bullshit! 
>We just help people.' (referring to accusations that pharmaceutical 
>companies test drugs in Africa resulting in death of patients)  Of course I 
>was expecting. Suppose you were testing a drug here and some people died, 
>what would you do? Would you go public? Would you try to cover? He said: 
>'Yes, I would have to cover.' Well, that’s my plot. I was really impressed. 
>I never expected the chairman of a company would say this. He was really 
>honest. He said: 'I would have to cover.' "

>7. A Conversation between this newsletter's editor, a Pepsi worker and a 
>Coke worker
>
>On March 1, I was shopping at a supermarket in Miami Beach. I met a Pepsi 
>delivery man who was restocking shelves and got into a conversation with 
>him. He is, he told me, in the Teamsters' Union. I gave him a Killer Coke 
>leaflet and he looked at it and then told me that the Coke workers in that 
>area are NOT in the union and are paid less than Pepsi’s workers.
>
>
>As we chatted, a Coke delivery man walked by and I gave him a leaflet. I 
>described Coke’s abuses and he was interested in what I had to say.  In the 
>discussion between the three of us, it came out that Coke workers were not 
>in the union, that most/many of the workers are temps to avoid paying 
>benefits and that they get very poor overtime rates — about $3.00 an hour, 
>the worker comparing his conditions to sweatshop labor conditions in China.
>
>
>I mentioned the California Coca-Cola driver who was fired for drinking a 
>Pepsi on the job and the Coke worker acknowledged that they were not 
>allowed to drink anything but Coke products.
>
>
>The Pepsi worker left us and I continued the conversation with the Coke 
>worker. He said that he would love to have a union, but that he recently 
>had a daughter and can’t take the chance to be “the first.” When she’s 
>about 16, he said, he’d like to work to bring in a union. He said that he 
>would bring our leaflet back to the guys at Coke. I gave him another dozen 
>copies of our leaflet and we parted.
