Abstract

This article presents US/Leap’s views Fair Trade labeling schemes and their benefits to workers and consumers globally. Examples of effective certification labels and other tools that serve mainly as corporate marketing tools are included. US/Leap mostly takes the position that certification programs have not yet demonstrated that they are effective enough to ensure protection for worker rights and justice for workers.
