Abstract: | In the Industrial Council Agreement no mention is made of race in the section where minimum wage levels are laid down for each job category. By examining the wage levels paid in 21 job categories in the hotel trade in the Cape Peninsula, this article tests whether the conditions within this industry are as equitable as the Industrial Council Agreement would make them. Conclusions far from being equitable the hotel trade in the Cape Peninsula is revealed as being weighted heavily in favour of White employees, at the expense of the Blacks. Notes, tables. |
