Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
General Scheme of the Cooperative Societies Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. T.J. Flanagan:
In general terms the world is moving anyway towards corporate social responsibility and environmental, social and corporate governance. This is throwing a light on workers' rights anyway. I know the co-operatives in our network are having a very intensive debate about how we embrace the expectations of society, and workers' rights are paramount in this. I am not entirely sure whether it is needed in this legislation. I believe it will apply to every body corporate.
