GostHacked Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 http://money.cnn.com/2007/03/14/news/compa...dex.htm?cnn=yes The announcement came moments after U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeffrey Taylor accused the Cincinnati-based banana producer with paying - through its Colombia subsidiary Banadex - a right-wing paramilitary group in Urabá and Santa Marta, two areas of Colombia where Chiquita grew bananas. This goes back to the 80s. Challenge for all you, and me. Any more proof like this of US, or for that matter any major corporation getting involved in this kind of stuff. Are bananas that much of a National Interest? OK I called out the US on this one.... well Chiquitita is an American. (remember, corporations are people too). In this thread we talk about coporations connected to terrorism. What happened? Who was fined/fired/jailed Company go under? Ect ect ect Quote
obsidian Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 how about how banana republics f*** up the people there for pretty much eternity? so we can eat bananas at .80 a pound or less. its bad enough that they(chiquita, who else?) now hire MERCANARIES, but what about the use of DDT and other pesticides all the workers are exposed to? the main culprit is the united fruit company Quote
