Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that workers sacked and then offered their jobs back on lower wages will not be able to take action for unlawful dismissal and have no rights to dispute their dismissal? Can the minister also explain why the government thinks it is okay for employers to sack workers one day and rehire them to do the same job but on lower wages and poorer conditions the very next day?
