Business Report writes that the SA Clothing and Textile Workers Union (Sactwu) has launched an inquiry into the impact of the implementation of the youth employment accord (YEA) in the clothing industry.
The union indicated that an audit into the matter would be produced by February next year as it sought to determine what unions and employers in the industry have done to implement commitments made in the YEA. The agreement signed in 2013 seeks to expand employment opportunities for young people through skills improvement schemes. “Sactwu is of the view that, instead of just complaining about the problem of youth unemployment, it is time that every signatory of the YEA must now account for what they have done to meet their commitments,” said the union in a statement on Wednesday.
