As apartheid rules became progressively harder to enforce, black incomes began to catch up with white ones. Between 1975 and 1990, average real black earnings in manufacturing rose by almost 50 percent. For whites, the figure was only 1 percent. On the one hand, the government and white labor unions were struggling to preserve the gap between black and white wages. On the other hand, black labor unions and market forces were working to narrow them. White unions insisted that white workers should be paid much more than blacks, irrespective of how much they produced. But employers objected. When a job could be done equally well by a black employee, it made no sense to pay extra to have it done by a white one.
