The response to the climate crisis calls for the reshaping of our economic system in several ways. The world of work needs to be at the heart of the zero-carbon economy, and working hours and how we define work are at the heart of that. To ensure that everyone has a voice in drawing up this sustainable society that we have to co-create, we have to ensure that everyone is empowered and benefits from the changes that the reform of the world of work would lead to. We have to ensure that the employees on the lowest wages—and women, of course, are the majority of those—aren't forced to search for additional employment or can't access leisure facilities or affordable care support.

We have to ensure that the reform of working patterns goes hand in hand with the reform of pay and conditions, and that's why the contribution of trade unions to any transformation is vital to safeguard those who are in inequitable situations socially and economically from being disadvantaged further. And that's why a pilot is vital here, and that's what we can do in Wales to see the impact and the solutions that are required to see how this innovative idea can be part of the response to eradicate those deep-seated inequalities that scar our society and prevent the development of a fair and sustainable economy. Wales has an opportunity to demonstrate to its people and to the world that that is our aspiration. I encourage you to support the motion.
