To Sue Morphet CEO of Pacific Brands; the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd; and the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Kim Carr.
    I am writing to request that you save the jobs of the 1850 Pacific Brands workers around Australia who may soon be sacked. This is a devastating blow to the workers, their families, this industry and Australia and the likely flow on effects on suppliers and other companies in the industry could well see thousands more jobs lost. The majority of workers employed by this company are migrant women who have long years of service and their prospects of finding alternative work in the current economic crisis are grim.
    Pacific Brands own many iconic Australian labels including Bonds, Holeproof, Kayser, Rio, Berlei, King Gee, Yakka, Lee, Wrangler, Stussy, Mooks, and Mossimo. Yet they are planning to no longer manufacture clothing in Australia.
    This company has received nearly $18m dollars of Federal Government Assistance just in the last two financial years. How can a company take from the Australian Government and the Australian community for years without a mutual obligation to keep jobs in Australia?
    I urge Pacific Brands to reverse its decision to sack 1850 workers and the Government to act urgently and decisively to save the workers’ jobs.
    I also urge the Government to only fund companies which guarantee to keep jobs in Australia and to ensure that Government tenders are only available to companies who will guarantee Australian Made and ethically made products.
    Don’t drive the TCF industry off the Australian map! Make it Well, Make it Fair, Make it Here – support Australian TCF Jobs!
    Sincerely,

Union Continues Pacific Brands Job Fight
