The true story on how Fair-trade is not fair at all! Do new buzz words like Code of Conduct, Good Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility also include the poor workers producing goods for the rich part of the world? In the beautiful, lush tea gardens in Kenya, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, millions of tea workers struggle everyday -- fighting to survive. They are plucking tea for multinational companies such as Lipton and Finlay's. The companies promise the consumers that they will act as responsible members of the global society -- protecting the environment and ensuring good working and living conditions. Nothing could be more wrong! The western consumers have turned to the Fairtrade/Max Havelaar brand because it guarantees that the workers in the certified tea estates get a little extra money, every time a consumer buys their tea. But is this actually the case? |
