South African Clothing Industry Implements New Labour Plan

According to South Africa, a few days ago South African clothing industry Johann Baard, the head of the association, said that if the South African trade union accepted the new industry employment plan recently proposed by the apparel industry association, the South African garment industry will create nearly 100 thousand jobs in the next two years. Baard also said that the decline in employment rate has become a social problem that has plagued the South African government. The new plan put forward by the apparel industry association will try to maintain employment in the industry. Labor relations By adopting a more reasonable mode of remuneration for labour and industry, the South African clothing industry will exert pressure on Lesotho and Swaziland to promote the effective recovery of South African clothing industry. The new labor plan indicates that the wages of workers in rural areas should be 220 RAND / week, while the wages of workers in urban areas will be 300 RAND / week. Meanwhile, the new labour mode will further stimulate more local clothing owners to increase investment in South Africa's clothing industry. According to the data provided by the South African Clothing Industry Association, the competitiveness of South Africa's clothing industry has dropped sharply in the past 10 years. In 2004, there were about 1200 factories in South Africa with nearly 100 thousand workers, but as of September 2010, it had dropped to 948 factories, with 56341 employment in the industry. Wayne van der Rheede, head of the clothing and textile trade union of South Africa, said that the new development plan of the clothing industry is expected to be released in the middle of December this year. The introduction of this plan will help South Africa's future garment industry. Revitalization 。
