Even Fairtrade that seeks to support living incomes and living wages struggles with this one.

It’s such a stretch to get buy in along supply chains where the value accumulates towards the top - as with the CEOs..

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
