BEHIND THE SMILE IS A PROBLEM. ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES THAT OUR GHANAIAN (TRADERS)MOTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE TO GO THROUGH IS THE HARRASHMENT THEY SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THE DISTRICT AND COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO LEVY THE MOSTLY SEMI ILLITERATES TRADERS WITH DAILY TICKETS AND SOMETIMES GIVE THEM WRONG RECEIPTS. NO PAIN NO GAIN IS TRUE HERE .
THE WEARING OF THE HATS BY THE OTHER WPMEN IS NOT FOR FUN BUT A SHADE AGAINST THE PESTERING SUN. SO WHY IS IT THAT OUR SISTER IS NOT WEARING ANYTHING? DO YOU GET THE IDEA?
WELL, SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE IS SELLING CLOTHS IN THE OPEN AIR, BUT SHE IS NOT THE OWNER, JUST A MIDDLE PERSON WHO GETS PAID BY THE OWNER. DO WE CALL IT CHEAP LABOR OR ABUSE OF LABOR?
