Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
I welcome the Minister of State's clarification that even though the social partners, who are no longer in existence, were allowed to have a veto on the provisions of this Bill, employers, employees and their representatives can come to an agreement at local level. What is the position when employees are not members of a union but have a works council? Can they reach an agreement which would be independent of the provisions of this legislation?
