Say Mitayo! NRM NO... CHANGE!!!!! Say that was uncalled for language!
Ugandans are about to really see the true face of capitalism. In some Latin American countries, ( I am sure you are aware) the supervisor in charge in some of these sweat shop won't even let you pee!! You work 14/15 hours a day on a goddamn sawing machine with NO rest. If you are sick for a single day, you can rest assure you have No job! well that is Globalization all right!

No fucking foreigner should be allowed to come in our country and slap, strike our people loike we are garbage. This is not the first complaint about these sweat-shops in Africa let alone other parts of the world. In Lesotho girls are paid a pittance in the same sweat-shops that is not even enough to pay for transport to and fro. The owners of these sweat-shops should know that quite a sizable amount of the apparel they produce is sold here in North America on University Campuses. We know the system on these campuses. To shut down this end is very easy. Let the owners not kid themselves. One other point. Why keep on importing Indians to compete with our people when we have such high unemployment rates.? It is only in Africa that there is no no protection for their workers!! Things have got to change. What are the MP's, especially those representing labour, doing in Parliament? We have to put to a stop this nonsense where we allow our people to be treated as scond class citizens in their own country! Keep us informed on this issue. The girls should be organized in unions and establish links with us. Dear Assumpta we also have to organize here. These girls are going to need help. The sweat-shop industry is not a tea-party. And it is going to get more ugly!! >>
