Taoiseach condemns companies who exploit staff
06/12/2005 - 17:27:40The Taoiseach has said he does not want to see Irish companies gaining competitive advantage in the marketplace by exploiting staff.
Bertie Ahern has told the Dáil that social partnership has contributed enormously to Ireland's successful economy.
He said competitive companies should look at increasing productivity by bringing in new products and services, technological innovation and up-skilling staff.
The Taoiseach said he does not want to see companies boosting competition based on poor wages, casualisation of labour, low health and safety standards, or other poor compliance practices.
