Mahira Sheikh titkellem ma' Gaetano Micallef
Fit-tentattiv li tnaqqas l-isfruttament tal-ħaddiema, il-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust (KKĠ) għaddejja b’kampanja biex tqajjem kuxjenza dwar il-kummerċ ġust. MAHIRA SHEIKH tgħid lil GAETANO MICALLEF għaliex huma qegħdin iħeġġu lill-pubbliku biex jixtri prodotti bit-tikketta “Fair Trade”.
Kemm ilha mwaqqfa l-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust? U fiex tikkonsisti l-ħidma tagħkom?
Bdiet fl-1996 minn grupp ta’ nies li kienu qegħdin imorru barra minn Malta, bħal Sqallija u t-Tuneżija, fuq xogħol ta’ volontarjat. U dawn riedu li mhux biss jagħ mlu xi ħaġa konkreta barra minn Malta imma anke xi ħaġa f’pajjiżhom stess. Raw li fis-suq m’hemmx ġustizzja fin-negozju u ħassew li jekk ikun hawn kummerċ ġust setgħu jgħinu lil min kien qiegħed jiġi sfruttat. U waqqfu l-Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust.
