Are you buying fair trade fruit? We've just received this urgent action from British based organisation Banana Link.

"This appeal is urgent because it threatens to directly undermine the amazing work done by the SITRAP union organisers over the last year in recruiting hundreds of new members in Costa Rica's banana and pineapple plantations that supply us in the UK (described by Gilberth bermudez in his address to Congress in June in Blackpool)."
