Union calls for TCF Industry Plan

Date: 11 August 2008

The Australian textile clothing and footwear industry is ready to emerge from the dark decade of Howards neglect.

The Labor government has called on Professor Roy Green to review the TCF industry and make recommendations for its future.

The TCFUA and its members want to live in a country that continues to actually make things.

We want the Federal Government to:

• Encourage and develop an innovative, smart, ethical, clean and green industry

• Freeze tariffs and expand industry assistance to support and create quality skilled jobs

• Guarantee entitlements and provide effective assistance for retrenched workers

• Establish a TCF Innovation Council to support and implement the new plan

Tell them to Make it Well, Make it Fair and Make it Here!
