  • Of these 70 000, around 70% were local casual labour, which is a legal stipulation, and the rest were skilled or core workers. We have to move the local component around so that they can have regular work. The core people return to their companies and are assigned other projects."

    This article is about the workers who have helped build the Soccer World Cup Stadium, in which the games will be hosted in June, do not have a job anymore. The stadium was built Johannasburg, South Africa and after it was built, employers who helped became out of work since the construction was done. There was over 70,000 workers but 70% of them were just fill ins. The rest were actual core work engineers. For the 70% who were not as skilled workers, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has tried there best to help these unemployed workers to get a job back. The only problem is that they cannot be a trade union as well as an employment agency.
