More verbal & visual support needed for battle of sewing machines

This echoes what The ReDress Consultancy has been saying ever since the wage dispute began. However, the actions of the bargaining council and even the union reflect very little or no flexibility in their strategy to address the situation. We need more demonstrative leadership from government officials who feel the way the situation is being addressed is detrimental to industrial and employment growth. Why do treasury officials have to speak “privately” about this?

It is time that the clothing and textile sector begin to have their voice heard as a collective. We have seen to date no public interaction or support from the industry for the small group of clothing manufacturers in Newcastle who have taken this ongoing battle to unprecedented levels of engagement. It is cowardly of this sector to not support this determined group of employers whose battle of the sewing machines may result in a new era of labour relations for the clothing sector.
