Yes but you have members of IBEC who refuse to recognise trade unions. There are members of IBEC in the care sector who are happy to dismiss people for simply joining a trade union, and asking to be represented and to be able to negotiate their pay. I have asked a fundamental question. Respectfully, again, how are workers in the care sector supposed to negotiate a pay rise when they are denied trade union representation? It is a serious question.
