Well that is easy fair trade means getting a fair price so that means all fair trade items with the symbol on them were given a fair wage. If you go into say a clothing department store and you want to know whether the farmer was paid a fairly good wage go up to the counter and say "Is this fair trade?"and if they say no then say "If you go fair trade I'll buy it."
