Keeping the fact of these gross inequalities in mind, it is difficult to see how anyone can honestly claim that «fair trade» has actually been achieved.
|
Claims of «fair trade» can be profound exaggerations, misleading and inaccurate.
|
|
|
To say «This is fair trade » to workers whose pay only allows for a quality of life grossly out of step with that of the buyers (or with the owners of the businesses in which they work) —
To claim and say to such workers «This is fair» is shocking and in itself a great injustice.
