Go raibh maith agat, a Aire.
Minister, recent research by the Respect at Work campaign and Queen's University suggests that union busting is rampant across the island of Ireland, with 69% of workers surveyed reporting consistent anti-union behaviour from employers. Are you confident that the "good jobs" employment rights legislation will prevent that type of anti-union activity in the North and empower workers by securing their rights?
