I congratulate the workers who have stood against the actions of Tesco and members of the public who have shown solidarity with them. The Minister stated she did not have a role in the matter. On the contrary, as a legislator she can change the law to protect workers. I urge her and other Ministers to support the Industrial Relations (Right to Access) (Amendment) Bill when it comes before the House on Second Stage next week. I request also that the Minister ask her colleague, the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Leo Varadkar, to issue a statement clarifying that family income supplement payments to striking workers will not be affected while they are in dispute as Tesco management has been threatening striking staff with such a fall-out from their action.
