I could accept that if we were dealing with competition law. We are dealing with industrial relations law, which is supposed to protect the rights of workers. There is a problem with Ms Sweetman's approach that it can be this or that, or one can make up one's own mind as to what it is. I am afraid that does not cut it when it comes to workers' rights, particularly given what they are paid for the work they do.
