2. Objectives
The Government’s objectives for industry development are aimed at making industry internationally competitive, at achieving the highest standards in all business practices and, in particular, at the creation of employment.
The Code of Practice on Employment and Outwork Obligations for Textile Clothing and Footwear Suppliers focuses on the performance of members of the Textile Clothing and Foot wear Industry in the employment and management of their workers.
The specific objectives are to:
- eliminate unsatisfactory work practices
- ensure service providers comply with the full spirit and intent of applicable awards, certified, enterprise and workplace agreements, and all statutory obligations relating to employees and outworkers
- achieve high standards in occupational health, safety and Work Cover performance by all industry participants
- ensure that all industry members comply with their obligations to do with training and skill formation, equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.
Achieving these objectives will increase the value obtained from the State’s and other signatories’ investment in the industry, and ensure that all industry employees and outworkers are appropriately remunerated and rewarded for their work.
