# The Institute of Race Relations says Employment and Labour minister Nomakhosazana Meth should be ashamed, not concerned, about job losses at companies like ArcelorMittal, Ford, and Goodyear. They blame long-standing ANC policies, including strict labour laws and minimum wage rules, for the rising unemployment. The institute’s Hermann Pretorius urged the government to scrap broad-based black economic empowerment quotas, stop further minimum wage hikes, and reform labour regulations.
