The New Indian Express Madurai
|November 06, 2025
ALL associations of manufacturers and exporters in the knitwear sector in Tiruppur have decided to form a joint committee to discuss the new wage agreement to be decided with trade unions within two months.
The previous four-year wage agreement signed in September 2021 expired in September 2025.
Around 22,500 companies and about 10 lakh workers, including migrant workers, are dependent on the knitwear sector in Tiruppur, known as 'the knitwear capital of India'.
It is customary for all manufacturers' associations in Tiruppur to negotiate and finalise a wage pact with trade unions once every four years.
Due to the expiry of the previous one, all trade unions have been requesting associations of manufacturers to initiate negotiations for a new wage agreement.
