Okay. Most people would agree that the workers in these sectors have proven to be essential during the pandemic. We know the very low wages that exist in at least some parts of the agricultural industry. Is IBEC in favour of mechanisms to stop wages increasing in the care work and manufacturing sectors, despite the work of those front-line workers in the pandemic, because the employers cannot afford it?
