The legislation was formulated as a result of a commitment given by the Government in An Action Programme for the Millennium and the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness. The review published indicated that there was a broad base of contributors involved in finalising the legislation, not least the social partners. We probably felt the Bill would get the seal of approval in the workplace because they were involved. I am sure they would not have signed off on it if they had not been satisfied that it would bring about better conditions for employees.
