APWU Convention Votes to Ban Coca-Cola Products
From Aug. 23-27, the 270,000-member American Postal Workers Union held its national convention in Los Angeles with about three thousand delegates in attendance. Delegates passed a resolution, stating:
"That the national American Postal Workers Union requests that the United States Postal Service remove all Coca-Cola products from all postal facilities, and
"That the National American Postal Workers Union requests that all unions, State and Local American Postal Workers Unions, stop purchasing all Coca-Cola products until this issue (Colombian) is resolved."
Delegates from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota initiated the resolution and, along with others, distributed thousands of pieces of Campaign literature to the delegates.
