once UCTA is a legally registered employer association, join the clothing bargaining council as a party employer's association.
Once these two simple steps have been complied with, SACTWU would without hesitation agree to enter into negotiations with UCTA, to explore how their concerns could be accommodated.
Until then, the union regards UCTA's claims as illegitimate, constituting continued deliberate defiance of our country's legal industrial relations framework and an illegally unfair competitive attack on those hundreds of compliant clothing employers who actually do pay the legally prescribed minimum wage. The union cannot condone illegality.
