Fairtrade International introduces Standard for hired labour

Wise Coffee has a strict policy to have organic AND fairtrade certificates on file for ALL of the coffee that we roast and serve.  Fairtrade International just introduced a new Standard that makes positive steps towards making fair working wages and trade practices more achievable and enforceable.  Here is a link to an article that discusses this new Standard:
