Ms Edel McGinley:

With respect, that may be the wrong question. If I can turn it round, it is more about how the business of work is conducted. How are workers consulted? What are the mechanisms in place within a factory to talk to workers and to consult about their health and safety?

Low-paid workers value the work they do. Many of the people we work with have been in these jobs for up to 15 years. They are skilled in this work and they value it. Unfortunately, the work they do is not as valued, or they are not as valued, by others. There are a number of deficiencies, not just low pay. If a workforce has less power than the management or owners and there is a massive power imbalance, that gap is where the issues really arise. Would Ms McKeown like to add to that?
