SACTWU reaches another wage settlement

Workers in the Worsted textile sector will be receiving a 6.65% wage increase. The agreement was reached last week under the auspices of the national textile manufacturing bargaining council.

The agreement will come into effect backdated to the 1st July this year.

SACTWU is the biggest union in the clothing, textile and leather industry in South Africa, with more than 99 000 members at the end of June 2010. This allows Sactwu to represent members more effectively. We negotiate wages for the vast majority of workers in the clothing, textile and leather industry, and our agreements cover more than 100 000 workers.
