Okay. In relation to the tender documents that have gone out, I will read a section under environmental, social and employment law. It states:

Tenderers should be aware that national legislation applies in other matters such as employment, working hours, official secrets, data protection and health and safety. Tenderers must have regard to statutory terms relating to minimum pay and to legally binding industrial or sectoral agreements ...

What does that mean? The huge issue here is that the broadcast workers are, in many cases, getting roughly less than half of what the industry norms are. What protections does that section in the tender document give the workers under the future contract in terms of the standard, accepted industry pay?
