I move amendment No. 21:



In page 6, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:"Complaints and protection against victimisation

7. An employer shall not penalise or threaten against a worker, or cause or permit any other person to penalise or threaten penalisation against a worker for having made a statement to the Low Pay Commission or for giving evidence on their own experience through their representative organisation.”.
The section is intended to enhance the commission's anti-victimisation powers and the protection of workers.
