English: Can I thank the Member for his question? It'll come as no surprise to others in the Chamber that I wholeheartedly agree with the points that Jack Sargeant made there. I think the approach of the UK Government when it comes to trade unions and workers' rights in particular, and particularly their hidden-away, almost, announcement of their intention to try and repeal the Trade Union (Wales) Act, and their copious attacks across the UK in terms of trying to roll back workers' rights, shows a disregard not just for workers, but a disrespect for devolution as well. And instead of attempting to attack workers who are the backbone of our public services, who are feeling the pinch themselves of the cost-of-living crisis, they should actually go back and re-enact their commitment to an employment Bill, to actually improve the support for people in work and improve their rights. I agree with you that strong and effective trade unions are not just in the best interests of workers and communities, but our country as a whole, and despite some of the rhetoric we might hear from some of our colleagues - not always in this place, but maybe elsewhere and in the right-wing media - actually, a positive view of trade unions is one that is reflected by much of the public in Wales, as we can see that trade union membership levels increased in Wales by 33,000 between 2020 and 2021; the only nation in the UK to see an increase. And when we talk about social partnership, it's not just about talking the talk, it's about walking the walk. Social partnership working goes beyond legislation; it's about a value-based approach of working together for the common interest and shared purpose, and it has a huge potential to drive change not just for individuals but collectively for our communities.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn? Ni fydd yn syndod i eraill yn y Siambr fy mod yn cytuno'n llwyr â'r pwyntiau mae Jack Sargeant wedi'u gwneud, ac rwy'n credu bod agwedd Llywodraeth y DU tuag at undebau llafur a hawliau gweithwyr yn benodol, ac yn arbennig eu cyhoeddiad cudd, bron, o'u bwriad i geisio diddymu Deddf Undebau Llafur (Cymru), a'u hymosodiadau helaeth ar draws y DU o ran ceisio cael gwared ar hawliau gweithwyr, nid yn unig yn amharchus i weithwyr ond yn amharchus tuag at ddatganoli hefyd. Ac yn lle mynd ati i ymosod ar weithwyr sy'n asgwrn cefn ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, sy'n teimlo'r argyfwng costau byw eu hunain, dylent ailweithredu eu hymrwymiad i Fil cyflogaeth, i wella'r cymorth i bobl mewn gwaith a gwella eu hawliau. Cytunaf â chi fod undebau llafur cryf ac effeithiol yn fuddiol i'n gwlad yn ei chyfanrwydd nid gweithwyr a chymunedau yn unig, ac er gwaethaf peth o'r rhethreg rydym yn ei chlywed gan rai o'n cyd-Aelodau - nid bob amser yn y lle hwn, ond efallai mewn mannau eraill ac yn y cyfryngau asgell dde - mae barn gadarnhaol am undebau llafur yn un a adlewyrchir gan lawer o'r cyhoedd yng Nghymru mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd gallwn weld bod lefelau aelodaeth o undebau llafur yng Nghymru wedi cynyddu 33,000 rhwng 2020 a 2021; yr unig wlad yn y DU i weld cynnydd. A phan fyddwn yn sôn am bartneriaeth gymdeithasol, mae'n ymwneud â gweithredu yn hytrach na siarad yn unig. Mae gweithio mewn partneriaeth gymdeithasol yn mynd y tu hwnt i ddeddfwriaeth; mae'n ymwneud â dull o gydweithio sy'n seiliedig ar werthoedd er budd cyffredin a phwrpas cyffredin ac mae iddo botensial enfawr i ysgogi newid nid yn unig i unigolion ond yn gyfunol i'n cymunedau.
