CAFTA Thread Definition Change Aims to Save U.S. Jobs
The CAFTA definition of sewing thread is being tightened to classify a certain single ply synthetic thread as originating in the United States or Central America. The tweak, signed into law by President Obama, aims to recapture market share and save up to 2,000 North Carolina jobs. Officials, manufacturers, and unions stress the move will boost exports, reduce offshore sourcing, and support textile communities. Francisco Sanchez, Kim Glas, and Knox Winger speak to the impact while tours visit Unifi and A&E plants and a Carolina site.
