Ms King is absolutely right. ICTU and the unions have been involved in the climate issue in a positive way for much longer than many others. It is complicated. We have invited ICTU back next week for a separate meeting on legislative scrutiny of our just transition Bill that would set up a specialist mediation service designed to avoid what we are seeing happening here. However, that is for another day.

I support the call for this to be referred to the WRC quickly. Will Ms King outline the timeline for its work, being specific about its remit or agenda? Why is the company opposed to it?
