      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.

      .absolutly right for Conservatives to have put an end to zero hours contracts that prevented ppl working elsewhere. Labour failed to do so

      .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.

        Flexible work as a student are not the same - for ordinary hard working people who you claim to represent this is a poverty trap.

        I have never worked on a zero hours contract (I was parachuted in at Director level post uni). But it's right that little people should work

        White middle class ppl live in complete bubble. You have no concept, no experience of exploitation. Not surprised you agree with each other!
