The National Arbitration Commission and the textile and garment Federation (Sactwu) will jointly propose that they should be punished for crimes against manufacturers who do not implement the agreement of the committee, but the relevant people in the industry believe that the wage structure of the Arbitration Commission is not realistic.

According to the chairman of the committee, Ms. Deborah Arends, 385 companies in the country have seriously violated the regulations, of which 372 have been found to be unqualified.

These non compliant manufacturers will be forced to close the factory, but this will cause nearly 23000 jobs to drain.

Arends says many workers earn less than 100 a week.

Coins.

The Chinese factory in daxinpu, a provincial capital, was closed in August because of the protest committee's weekly pay of less than 324 South African coins.

At the annual meeting of the Committee held in Cape Town, Labour minister Membathisi Mdladlana said that manufacturers who did not comply with the law should be punished for crimes because they had stolen the basic rights of workers.

Andre, Kriel, Secretary General of the Federation of trade unions, said that the Federation of trade unions will endeavour to dispense with non compliant practitioners.
