dc.description.abstractDuring the 1970s and 1980s, the Sullivan Principles represented an effort to bring moral pressure to bear on the operations in South Africa of large US companies--pressure to induce them to discontinue their discriminatory labor market practices and to introduce affirmative actions for higher wages, improved conditions, and better job opportunities among their nonwhite employees. In this paper, we look at the workplace data between 1972 and 1984 of samples of the firms that subscribed to the Sullivan Principles.en_US
