I would like to get in some questions if I may. I agree with Ms Labo about workers' pay. She has highlighted one of the key issues in this industry which is the issue of agencies. Have the unions offered some alternative to the agency structure for hiring foreign and migrant workers here? The meat factories themselves are not in a position to recruit on that basis which is why they look to agencies. Ms Labo has highlighted that agencies are not passing on the overtime. They are crowding people into houses which is tantamount to spreading infection across the country. This needs to be looked at. What are the unions doing on that?
