Go raibh maith agat,
First Minister, for that response. Stronger workers' rights are essential.
You mentioned some of the issues that are important: trade union representation, the banning of zero-hours contracts and employees being able to have their tips and service charges. Anyone who cannot get behind these proposals needs to be clear — concerns for some, and hiding behind the industry for others. If this is not supported, it will ensure that women's rights and other workers' rights in the workforce are not respected or, indeed, protected. Does the First Minister agree that it is essential to introduce the 'good jobs' Bill at the earliest opportunity?
