Wage Laws Squeeze South Africa's Poor
( The New York Times )
In Newcastle, South Africa a sheriff arrived at a clothing manufacturing factory to shut it down for paying employees below minimum wage. What surprised this sheriff was the look on the women faces who were working there, they were distressed. With the little money they received, they sought it as an opportunity to raise their families. This was just one sign of the unemployment crisis in South Africa that has been going on for years on end. The president has been promising a raise in employment percentage, but no action has been seen yet.

However, others oppose this idea and say that it will just be taking the world back into the past of technology and dissembling the advancements. By 2011, there will be a decision if this law will even make it to the House of Representative.
