we are promoting a world campaign to boycott Chiquita which supports the Coup d'Etat in Honduras. It is very important to spread the word in these critical moments and to try to help the Resistence to defeat coup participants.

This piece focuses on two factories, Brukman and Zanon, the most famous of the occupied factories.
