Tories could have done with this good news a few weeks ago. This country is better off under a Tory government- Corbyn's a joke

Zero hours contracts. Three hour contracts. Minimum wage. Hardly something to be proud of!
-
To be honest, 0 hours contracts do work for people. Unfortunately, a lot of those are abused by the companies using them.
-
Do they?
-
Yes, they do. The added flexibility for the staff on those contracts makes them ideal for some people.
-
0 hour contracts remove all the workers rights, the company can effectively fire them for whatever they please with no appeal
-
No, that only depends on the individual contract. You can't literally just fire someone for no reason in this country.
-
You don't fire them. You drop them down to 0 hours of they displease you, and they can tell you that. 0 hours is same as being sacked.
-
That's why I said some businesses abuse them. Doesn't mean all do, and doesn't mean having a 0 hours contract is a bad thing.

Is that because 50,000 were sanctioned and are still awaiting decision to be overturned?? How about you ask DWP for sanction in same period

Meaningless figure without breakdown of contract type and pay levels. Zero Hours + Min Wage masks true damage

Do these "official figures" tell us how many are in work but relying on food banks? How many on zero hours contracts and paid a pittance?

Does it show how many are doing minimum hours on/or zero hours contracts, or just those people below living standard are "employed"?
