However, there are serious issues about the unionization of workers in the sector. On one hand, this situation causes an increment in social and economical issues of workers and enterprises and on the other hand, it damages democracy within the enterprise. In this context, this study aims to suggest tangible solutions by revealing the economical and social differences between unionization and non-unionization in the sector. Besides, the study differs from other studies and contributes to the literature due to its two-sided research structure (workers and employers) and analysis of unionization in textile and clothing sector in terms of economical and social aspects.

The textile and clothing sector is one of the most competitive and high value-added sectors of the Turkish economy. Its advantages include qualified labour and an integrated structure which includes all the processes starting from obtaining raw materials through to delivering the goods to the consumer. This means it can win an important share in exports, employment and gross national product. Despite the contribution of this sector to the economy, in recent periods, significant difficulties have occurred due to global competition.

Przemysł tekstylno-odzieżowy jest jednym z najbardziej konkurencyjnych i przynoszących największe zyski przemysłów tureckiej gospodarki. Jego zaletami są miedzy innymi kwalifikowana siła robocza i zintegrowana struktura, charakteryzująca się tym, że reprezentowane w niej są zarówno wszystkie procesy produkcyjne jak i dystrybucyjne, począwszy od uzysku surowców do dostarczenia towarów do użytkownika. Oznacza to, że przemysł ten może uzyskać wysoki udział w eksporcie, zatrudnieniu i dochodzie narodowym brutto. Pomimo istotnego udziału tej branży w gospodarce tureckiej, ostatnimi czasy pojawiły się znaczne trudności w wyniku zaostrzenia globalnej konkurencji.
