6. 30p Step Two Each banana is worth 30p
What cut of this 30p do you think you should get?
Discuss as a group and come up with an amount. Write it on your role sheet and we will reveal as a group. You will need to justify this.

10. Discussion: Answer these questions neatly
Step Four
Discussion: Answer these questions neatly
Do you think this is a fair situation?
Why is the 30p shared out as it is?
Who has power and why?
What could be done to improve the situation?
What role can we play as the people who buy
the bananas?
Would you be prepared to pay more for your
bananas if you knew workers and farmers got
a price that would enable them to meet their
basic needs?
Are you aware of similar situations in this country?
(For example, the use of workers from different
countries, often led by a gang master, on farms in
East Anglia or the workers from China employed
as cockle pickers?)
