I support the spirit of the amendment. In recent years, many companies have used employment law in an anti-competitive way. It is important to emphasise that 90% of employers are both compliant and supportive of employment law. However, the other 10% use it in order to gain competitive advantage in the context of tendering, pricing and how they run their businesses. There have been many examples of the kind of case to which Deputy Kelleher referred in the past number of years. I will be tabling a large number of amendments to the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill 2014 in order to try to confer more powers on the inspectorate with a view to stop the minority of employers from driving a coach and four through people's employment rights.
