Coca-Cola Continues Unethical and Dishonest Practices in India


 Kala Dera is a large village outside the city of Jaipur where agriculture is the primary source of livelihood. Coca-Cola started its bottling operations in Kala Dera in 2000, and within a year, the community started to notice a rapid decline in groundwater levels.

For farmers, loss of groundwater translated directly into loss of income. For women, it meant having to walk an additional 5 to 6 kilometers just to fetch water to meet the basic daily needs of the family. For many children in Kala Dera, it meant leaving schools to provide a much needed helping hand doing household chores since the women had additional burdens. The community in Kala Dera organized itself to challenge the Coca-Cola company for the worsening water conditions - through extraction and pollution - and demanded the closure of the Coca-Cola bottling plant. The company, in usual fashion, denied any wrongdoing, blaming "outsiders" for the increasing local community opposition.
Build a Trust Relationship Over Time

Trust is built and maintained by many small actions over time. Marsha Sinetar, the author, said, “Trust is not a matter of technique, but of character; we are trusted because of our way of being, not because of our polished exteriors or our expertly crafted communications.”
You can build trusting relationships and a culture of trust in your workplace. You build trust through all of your actions and every interaction you have with coworkers and employees. You build trust one step at a time. Trust is fragile, but strengthens over time with - you guessed it - more trust. Prove yourself and your organization worthy.

Inglewood gunman shoots 5 family members, killing 2, sets home on fire 

 

 

Fili Lamas, a 30-year-old father and his 4-year-old son both died in surgery after the 4 a.m. attack incident. His wife, Gloria Jimenez, and two other children were also injured, said Inglewood Police Chief Mark Fronterotta.
Jimenez collapsed on a nearby street holding her dying son. She was able to carry the 4-year-old boy, even though she had been shot in both legs.
The injured children were a 6-year-old boy, who was shot in the pelvis, and a 7-year-old girl, who was shot in the chest. They were listed in critical, but stable condition at a nearby hospital, police said.
An 8-year-old boy was not injured, but was also taken to the hospital for observation.
The suspect, who police identified as Desmond John Moses, was last seen wearing a cap and painter's mask, was believed to still be near the scene of the shooting at a home in the 4900 block of 99th Street, police said. 
But what could possibly cause this?
