Trade is a very important way for any country to earn money and create jobs. People and countries have traded for thousands of years, but in today's (globe) economy, information, goods and money can be moved around the world at unbelievable speed. Companies aim to make the best product at the (low) price.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is responsible for (make) international trade agreements. Most rich countries want a free trade system in the prices of goods are determined by the amount that people want to buy and sell. But many people believe such a system favors richer countries like the USA and Japan and want the WTO to be reformed. They argue that world trade must (manage) so the poorest countries benefit more. other words, they want world trade to become "fair trade".
Fair trade is trade that is good for the producer, a system that ensures more of the price consumers pay (go) to the producer. Fair trade staff would be paid a fair wage, have good working (condition) and be allowed (form) trade unions to defend their rights.
Fair trade campaigns, such as the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC), have drawn attention to the working conditions of workers all around the world.
