'Backlash fears' behind Pacific Brands festival Valentino Rockstud Sneakers pullout
The Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union says Pacific Brands has pulled out Valentino Pumps of the Melbourne Fashion Festival because it does not want to face protesters.
The festival was meant to feature two shows by Pacific Brands later this week.
A spokesman for the company says he is unable to say why Pacific Brands has pulled out, but says it will continue to sponsor the festival and supply volunteer uniforms.
The union's national secretary, Valentino Flat Shoes Michelle O'Neill, says the reason is clear.
"They've done that because of concern about the public backlash to their decision Valentino to sack 1,850 workers," she said.
Pacific Brands announced last month that it would shift production to Valentino Ballerina Flats Sale China and just under 2,000 jobs would be lost in Australia.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has promised to get tough on Pacific Brands if it does not guarantee entitlements for its sacked workers.
Mr Rudd says he has not been briefed on redundancy arrangements and entitlements, but the Government will do all it can to help.
"What I will say to you however, with each one of you is that I'll have the Employment Minister write to each of you about the state of your entitlements to make sure that they are guaranteed. If there is a problem with the company, we'll take it out of the company's hide," he said.
A spokesman for Valentino Slingback Pumps Pacific Brands says all workers' entitlements will be paid.
He says talks are being held with the Government to finance retraining initiatives.

Miss California trumps pageant http://www.valentinovip.com/ controversy
Miss California Carrie Prejean has kept her crown, standing by her opposition to gay marriage and defending posing for topless photos.
Prejean, Valentino Pumps Sale 21, made headlines last month at the Miss USA pageant when she expressed her opinion on gay marriage; she claimed her answer - that marriage should be between a man and a woman - cost her the Miss USA crown.

Miss USA Valentino Slingbacks pageant owner Donald Trump praised Prejean for her beauty and standing by her opinion, and he judged the topless photos as acceptable for her to continue her reign.
"If her beauty wasn't so great no one really would have cared," he said at a news conference.
Prejean's Miss California title was not in doubt because of her opposition to same-sex marriage, but because she was operating independently of pageant organisers and had failed to disclose her topless photos. Prejean said the photos were taken for modelling agency applications, not for publication.
The question about gay marriage was posed by Miss USA judge and celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who then railed against Prejean's answer in his blog.
"I exercised my freedom of speech and I was punished for doing so," an emotional Prejean said at a news conference.
"This should not happen in America. It undermines the http://www.valentinovip.com/valentino-sneakers-c-71/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Valentino Sneakers Sale constitutional rights for which my grandfather fought for [in World War II].
"I believe no one should be silenced if they are speaking from their heart. I am a model. I am a Christian," she said, adding that she forgave everyone Valentino Rockstud Flats who had attacked her for her anti-gay marriage opinions.

Dominican Republic clinches Miss Universe
Miss Dominican Republic Amelia Vega, an 18-year-old high school student, has won the Miss Universe 2003 title at a sparkling ceremony in Panama City, beating a field of 70 other pageant queens.
Miss Venezuela Mariangel Ruiz came second, followed by Miss South Africa Cindy Nell.
The winners were announced at the end of a gala night of parades in figure-hugging swimsuits and shimmering evening gowns in the $10 million Figali Convention Centre on the banks of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal.
It is the first time a contestant from the Dominican Republic, a Spanish-speaking country that shares an island in the Caribbean with impoverished Haiti, has won the title.
Ms Vega clinched the pageant with her reply to a question put to the five finalists - "What is the most precious gift you've ever given someone?"
"According to my grandmother, Valentino Shoes Sale it was a letter I wrote to her when she was once very ill," she said, to the applause of some 7,500 festive pageant-goers in the packed auditorium.
Organisers estimate some 600 million people in more than 150 countries tuned in to watch the pageant, a show business perennial jointly owned by property tycoon Donald Trump and America's NBC Television.
As Miss Universe 2003, Ms Vega will take home a year's salary and hold public engagements around the world that will include fund-raising and campaigning for AIDS research and awareness.

A tabloid newspaper reported Miss Spain, Eva Maria Gonzalez, and her roommate Miss Colombia, Diana Lucia Mantilla, got into a fistfight over Ms Gonzalez's smoking habit.
They denied the report.
Panama closed public schools in the capital and announced government workers could leave early to avoid clogging the roadways during the event.
But not everyone Valentino was charmed by the beauty queens.
Thousands of Panamanians protested hours before the start of the contest, saying the $9 million the government paid to host Miss Universe could have been better spent on the country's poor, who make up 40 per cent of Panama's 2.8 million population.
The protesters crowned their own beauty queens, each representing what they say are the country's ills: unemployment, privatisation, corruption, foreign debt, impunity, poverty and misery.
Panama's Commerce Minister Joaquin Jacome says the contest will generate $60 million in revenue for the country.
