Latin America A Banana Republic

What is a Banana Republic? Brainstorm

Going Bananas! Banana plantations provide lots of jobs for many people However, workers are treated very badly. Banana plantations bring in lots of money as well, but only a small number of people actually receive the money

Labor Unions and Union Workers Protect the workers and the rights of workers Mostly wages, benefits, and working conditions Can you think of some unions in the United States?

Banana Republic – Not Just a Clothing Store William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910), known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer. Wrote the Gift of the Magi Coined the name “Banana Republic” in one of his short stories
