These are voices that we should listen to, not only because they represent workers but because they are already doing the work that the Government have, so far, failed to do. This is especially clear today, when an inquiry has upheld 45 allegations made against the “MasterChef” presenter Gregg Wallace. While 11 complaints had been made to the employers, the BBC and the production company, unacceptable behaviour—from sexually explicit comments to unwanted touching to being in a state of undress—was allowed to continue for nearly 20 years with no real repercussions. These workers were not protected by the current regulatory framework; their workplace was unsafe.
