I thank the three witnesses for the work they are doing and, in particular, Ms Plunkett for speaking out, which takes a lot of courage. The benefit is one of shining a light on the treatment of this invisible army of essential workers, who are undervalued and are part of a two-tier workforce. Ms Plunkett mentioned some of her workmates being scared or intimidated about speaking out about the conditions they faced. Could she elaborate on that? What are they worried about? Why would they be worried about speaking out at an event like this or to a union?
