 [machine translation]

Kapitalizm centuries ago are accentuated over industry and labor exploitation in sectors 
such as agriculture, this sector today is even more evident in the service sector having 
seen the claim coverage began to take a turn. In its most basic, based on human's human 
service sector, these lands have become a significant sector after more than 80 cases. 
Today, if these workers with workers in the service industry to look more closely at the 
working conditions, size of labor exploitation came, rather than in terms of centuries of 
slavery is seen to be different. ---- Ranging from 8 to 14 hours a day between work life 
waiter, busboy, clerk, cook, dishwasher, a large majority of its run service sector 
workers with similar adjectives apprentices and young people make up. In time that this 
young chef working population, responsible, performance beyond the boss printing, faced 
with sectoral issues such as customer satisfaction. On the other hand, a very large 
portion of the day spent at work from a factory, unlike a workshop, visibly not perform 
any production. Precisely for this reason, has been ignored in the beginning of the 
service sector workers exploited labor; then began to be regarded as invisible labor. 
However, this did not change the fact that the exploitation of workers in the service sector.

Invisible labor and the lack of a concrete manufacturing, the service sector is of course 
the benefit of patrons. Because if you studied how much work it is impossible to please 
patrons. At maximum amount (8 hours) even in places working "what would you do more", "Go, 
go" like forcing workers are required to work faster. The best example is the fastest 
waiter waitress in a restaurant. The work done in 8 hours of operation with such an 
acceleration time is almost twice the amount of work to do. So in performing the work to 
be done at least 1 or 2 hours 4 hours of labor are required. Thus, the 8-hour working 
during the study, nearly so much work has to take a quick study of the worse performance 
and service sector workers in almost all cases 15-16 hours and normalized to have such a 
workload.

If you're working in the sector in which it is impossible to encounter from the area 
studied by the present normalization; exploitation of all life in the century that has 
just before the normalization, a value that is not taken as slaves to be sold outside.
