Dean Mighell, Secretary of the Electrical Trades Union and President of the Victorian Trades Hall Council spoke to the crowd on the necissity for international solidarity with workers in Coca-Cola bottling plants in Columbia.

A union delegation will be going to Columbia in October this year to talk to unionists and workers to understand directly the repressive and intimidatory conditions for workers and union officials.
