BE AN INFORMED SUPPLIER OF UNION/AMERICAN MADE GARMENTS!!!
WHEN A CUSTOMER PURCHASES A LIFEWEAR GARMENT,
IN ADDITION TO A QUALITY GARMENT,THIS IS WHAT HE GETS
All garments are 100% USA components -- from the cotton grown in the South for the yarn, which is then knitted in Pennsylvania or in North Carolina for the fleece -- to the material, which is finished (bleached, dyed, scoured) in Pennsylvania or in North Carolina for the fleece -- to the thread, which is made in the USA.
According to one of our customers who researched union employee benefits in the garment industry, our employees’ benefits are at the top! They include:
- Average pay at over $11/hour
- Total health insurance coverage (employees pay no co-pay) @ $373/month
- $.35/hour contribution towards their pension plan
- An accident/sickness insurance which provides full-time employees with $225/week if they are absent due to a lengthy illness or injury
- Attendance bonuses at 3-month & 6-month intervals for employees who work all scheduled hours
- Christmas bonuses based on total hours employee worked that year; this has been as high as $.50/hour depending on our profits for the year
- A fuel club - Lifewear pre-pays about 8000 gallons of oil each spring at pre-season low prices; as the employees need fuel, they reimburse us at the same low price, thru payroll deductions so they don't have to absorb the entire cost out of one paycheck
- "Emergency" cash loans interest free which are again paid back thru several payroll deductions, enabling the employees to work thru their cash needs
- A true “sweat free shop” - it was air conditioned in 2003
- Even the coffee / tea / condiments are complimentary!!!
In addition to all the above benefits received by our employees, many of our customers tell us the Lifewear garment is the best quality union made garment available. All this does add up to a more expensive garment; but one we feel is well worth the price. We also pride ourselves with excellent customer service, including same day shipping at no upcharge.
