It is great to see that after 20 months of campaigning for justice. Many of us stood on the protest with the Clerys workers, who were treated so abominably by Natrium. I am glad to see a settlement has been reached to the satisfaction of the workers. I ask that we would have a debate in early course on the need for legislation to ensure this sort of thing does not happen again to workers in the future. This settlement does not obviate the need for legal change to ensure companies cannot leave workers high and dry in the way Clerys workers were left so shamefully 20 months ago.
