LD not surprised at all Chiquita been involved with gangsters and terrorists and corruption long long time as in using them to brutalise and batter workers into working for basically nothing...

This has been known long time and one of the reasons Chiquita used its gangster money to contribute to Clinton's last re-election which is how those US friends of gangsters businessmen on their behalf challenged the Treaty of Lome Preferential Trading agreements for ACP countries. Pure back-door gangster business....and everybody in the industry knew this...

But rather than Caribbean business and agricultural interest get hard core and put their own money together and basically bribe Clinton same way...The come with the usually legal and moral shit and what happen Chiquita took our markets blocked us from the US and fesity dutty boy them were trying to come for our European market.

So them boys dirty long long time. How else you get people to work for slave money which simply could not happen in the Caribbean because of our labour laws and history...Plenty people die so working man and woman could earn a respectable wage in the Caribbean and we won't stand for them monkey money.
