Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

As the Taoiseach knows, Tesco workers are out on strike. Workers' rights are under attack. With existing agreements and contracts, attempts are being made to change and undermine them. Workers have been forced to fight back and protect their rights. The strike is about union-breaking and, if not won, it will lead to a race to the bottom. Sinn Féin is bringing forward a Bill, the Industrial Relations (Right to Access) (Amendment) Bill. Will the Taoiseach support it? Does he support workers' rights? Does he support people's right to be in a union? The Taoiseach has long said he is a supporter of the Haddington Road agreement. If so, will he not call on others to stick by their agreements?
