France’s L'Union des Industries Textiles (UIT) and several other trade unions recently concluded an agreement that raises the minimum wages in the textile industry from May 1 this year. The agreement provides for a 2.7 per cent increase in conventional minimum wages for all professional categories in the industry—workers, supervisors and executives.
The agreement reflects the mobilisation of the social partners of the textile industry to retain employees in the sector and strengthen its attractiveness to men and women, a press release from UIT, which represents 2,150 textile companies in France, said.
The other trade unions are the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT), the French Confederation of Management—General Confederation of Executives (CFE-CGC), the French Confederation of Christian Workers (CFTC), the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and the Workers’ Force (FO).
