.absolutly right for Conservatives to have put an end to zero hours contracts that prevented ppl working elsewhere. Labour failed to do so
Contrary to the myths: Only 2.8% of people in employment are on a zero hours contract & of these 2/3 do not want more hours.

.banning zero hours contracts altogether would deny this option to both the 2.8% of employees who use them & employers & put jobs at risk

I worked on a zero-hours contract throughout University. It gave me the flexibility I needed and never once did I feel exploited.
-
It also gave me real-world work experience whilst studying. I'm now a solicitor and wouldn't have got here w/o that experience.
-
I agree, I have also worked on a zero hours contract in the past but called it a flexible contract to fit in with studies.

that is 910,000 people. They may not want more hours but they may want more job security & employment rights & greater say when they work
-
But there will be higher unemployment under Labour's job destroying plans so they won't get job security at all
-
Can you evidence that please?

2/3 do not want to risk upsetting their employer.

I thought it was 6% actually it's not about wanting more hours its about regular hours and standard employee rights to paid sick/leave etc.

Have you asked them all? Anyways 1/3 are still not being treated fairly. Which isn't something to feel happy about, now is it Sarah.

The calculation is whether the flexibility for those 2/3 is worth the insecurity for the 1/3 though. Not whether it works for some people.
