I thank the Conservatives for tabling this debate today. It's a welcome focus on the impact of coronavirus on employers, though I do note with regret that there isn't a single mention in the whole of the motion of employees whatsoever. In fact, the only tangential mention is an attack on unions and on unionised workplaces. Now, this is perhaps to be expected, even though it's very disappointing, but it does allow me, as a lifelong and proud union member myself, to urge all employees to always join a union, because they are your lifebelt when the economic seas are choppy.
