If that is true, we must ensure that all workers stand on that floor, not just those who have chosen to join a trade union. How can it be just or fair that two workers facing identical disciplinary proceedings have radically different statutory rights, simply because one is a member of a union and the other is not, for a multitude of reasons that I hope I have demonstrated. This is the very two-tier attitude to workers and the very approach that the Minister has been so keen to counter. I therefore hope that, on this very sensible and practical matter, the Government will accept either or both of these amendments.
