The footwear and leathergoods division of leather manufacturer Pittards has been chosen to feature in a film to be shown at the country’s TUC (Trades Unions Congress) Conference in September.
Pittards, based in Leeds, has established relationships with KFAT, the textiles union to which many of the Pittards’ employees belong. The film being made is to be shown on the first day of the TUC Conference and will highlight co-operation between union and employers. KFAT sees the relationship with Pittards as the model for how employers and unions should work together and a major aspect of the film will be the new union learning centre established earlier this year on the factory floor.
