Ban zero hour contracts
British workers are increasingly being hired under controversial 'zero-hour' contracts.
Zero-hour contracts are arrangements by which staff agree to work as and when required, with no guaranteed hours or benefits, effectively giving bosses a pool of people who are "on-call" and usable when the need arises.
The classic case is where somebody is employed on a zero hours contract, they've got no guaranteed hours of work and therefore get no pay but the employer is insisting they cannot work for other people.
I believe these contracts are exploitative and there is no benefit to the employee at all. I am calling for a total ban on zero hour contracts. Employers should give all workers a minimum contract.
