Beneath Black Skies
In 1902, Australia’s largest industrial disaster
killed 96 men and boys and left 120 children
fatherless. This labour history tracks how
Australia’s first mineral export, coal, shaped
the men and women who lived the mining life…
beneath black skies.

THE COCA-COLA CASE
Colombia is the trade union murder capital of
the world. Since 2002, more than 470 workers’
leaders have been killed by paramilitaries hired
by companies intent on crushing the unions.
Among these corporate brands is… Coca-Cola.
