Are the workers in the cooperative paid fairly?
Workers at the cooperative make over 70% more than the average annual per capita income in Nicaragua. They work a regular Nicaraguan work week of 47 hours. Overtime is paid double and is completely voluntary. No workers are under the age of 18. Being a cooperative, the members decide collectively how they will be paid (hourly or by the piece, for example), what holidays to take, etc. Please visit the co-op’s website to further explore: www.freetradezone.jhc-cdca.org I am allergic to detergent, I am looking for detergent-free product. The detergents we allow are those that are not silicone-based and do not contain petroleum solvents. “Anti-wrinkle agent” is a name for numerous functional chemical finishes which make fabrics ‘permanent press’. We do not allow these.
