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).
Meanwhile, Olivier Ducatillion, director of the Lemaitre Demeestere company and president of UITH Nord, the textile and clothing union in Hauts-de-France, was recently elected UIT president during the general assembly of the union. He succeeds Yves Dubief.
