Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to investigate whether a balance of technology and management could be used in order to sustain a viable U.S. yarn production industry. It is important to note that the focus of this study is on short-staple yarn products, so secondary data analysis did not include all types of yarn. The methodology used in this study consisted of two phases. Phase I was an analysis of secondary sources. This phase was performed by collecting data from many sources, including government and public organizations. Phase II used the analysis and interpretation of the information gathered from Phase I to develop the questionnaire and survey used in the interviews and online surveys. Phase II was primary research and this was subdivided into Phase II-A and Phase II-B. The interview questionnaire was used, not only to obtain additional information to supplement Phase I, but also to confirm some of the preliminary conclusion which had been attained from Phase I data. The sample for Phase II-A consisted of 12 respondents from nine U.S. textile companies from the fiber and yarn mills and auxiliary sectors. Phase II-B utilized an online survey developed by the researcher. The survey was used to obtain the information from 14 respondents belonging to 14 companies in the textile industry. These respondents were mostly located in the CAFTA region. These results represent the customerâ€TMs opinion side of main drivers that influence their decision to purchase yarn from either U.S. or other countries. Results reveal the impact of globalization on the U.S. yarn manufacturing industry, the position of U.S. yarn industry in the global scenario, the key drivers that influence yarn purchasing decisions, and the areas to which the U.S. yarn manufacturers should focus their resources in order to stay competitive or indeed survive.

This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the dramatic social impacts of global economic restructuring in the US textile industry and the consequences for Southern textile mill communities. With the expansion of markets in the global economy, government policies such as NAFTA and GATT are greatly affecting the domestic production of textiles. Increased global competitiveness has led to technological modernization, plant shutdowns, and downward pressure on wages. Many family-owned companies are merging into conglomerates, some of which are international. Concurrently, the structure of power and domination in Southern textile communities is changing. Paternalistic control, typically portrayed as a form of traditional authority and benevolent protection of workers, is no longer dominant. With the decreased need for skilled labor, textile company owners are not obligated to provide mill villages with housing electricity, and water. Formerly protected communities are now players on an international scale, with workers competing for jobs on a global level. New forms of class exploitation, racism, and sexism provide a contested terrain for mill employees. As the industry restructures, workers and their households are faced with new challenges. To understand these social impacts, I examine globalization, restructuring, and spatialization as processes embedded in multiple layers of reality. The multi-level analysis focuses on the Southern textile industry, a leading firm, its surrounding labor market area, and members of the community. Historical, statistical and qualitative interviewing methods yield data that demonstrate redefined labor markets, reconstituted race relations, and household adaptations. Changes in firm and industry impact shop-floor labor processes, including increased production pace, new management strategies and technological adjustments. As embedded layers of social relations, the multi-level outcomes are both negative and positive, creating new winners and losers in Southern communities.

Download or read book Sewing Hope written by Sarah Adler-Milstein and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sewing Hope offers the first account of a bold challenge to apparel-industry sweatshops. The Alta Gracia factory in the Dominican Republic is the anti-sweatshop. It boasts a living wage three times the legal minimum, high health and safety standards, and a legitimate union—all verified by an independent monitor. It is the only apparel factory in the global south to meet these criteria. The Alta Gracia business model represents an alternative to the industry’s “race to the bottom” with its inherent poverty wages and unsafe factory conditions. Workers’ stories reveal how adding $0.90 to a sweatshirt’s production price can change lives: from getting a life-saving operation to reuniting families; from obtaining first-ever bank loans to getting running water; from purchasing children's school uniforms to taking night classes. Sewing Hope invites readers into the apparel industry’s sweatshops and the Alta Gracia factory. Learn how the anti-sweatshop started, how it overcame challenges, and how the impact of its business model could transform the global industry.
