The Major Players For the past 15 years, theWorld Trade Organization (WTO) has served as the "overseer of world trade." This organization of 153 members settles disputes between countries as well as guides decisions about the impact of trade on working conditions, the environment, and foreign investment.  -World Trade Organization. (2010). Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. Retrieved March 13, 2010, from Grolier Online __http://gme.grolier.com/article?assetid=0315505-0__
…Conflict of Interest A major issue that the WTO must acknowledge is the conflict between supporters of free trade and the supporters of fair trade. As countries work together and trade together, they must agree on the ways in which to trade.
…Let’s take a closer look at the Fair Tradevs.Free Trade Debate
Free  Trade Free trade is a concept that promotes unrestricted trade among countries. Proponents of free trade assert that this form of trade promotes economic growth. The competition that results from free trade promotes lower prices for consumers and the constant interactions among countries promotes globalization.
Negative Effects of Free Trade
Negative Effects of Free Trade Large corporation push out smaller businesses US jobs are lost to overseas production where labor and safety laws are not well enforced  Money is drained from the poorer countries as corporations fail to reinvest locally This has only furthered the gap between the rich and poor as “the richest 20% of the world’s population has 60 times the income of the poorest 20%.” www.twohandsworldshop.com/blog/images/fairtrade.bmp
  Fair TradeFair trade means an equitable and fair partnership between marketers in the North and producers in Asia, Africa, Latin America to provide low-income artisans and farmers with a living wage for their work. It also promotes new methods to encourage trade in environmentally friendly products, such as organic produce, and eco-labeled production.http://www.euractiv.com/en/socialeurope/sustainable-trade/article-117546
…seeking a balance Striking a balance of a sustainable economy free  from unfair wages and working conditions as well as economic independence can only result if we balance free and fair trade. However, striking a balance is difficult because it involves bureaucracy and agreement.  The individual can play a key role in  supporting this balance by  acknowledging and supporting  companies, conglomerates, and  subsidies that don't exploit workers.
