Make Zero-Hour Contracts Illegal in all Sectors of Work
Dear Minister for Employment,
Please consider making these kind of contracts illegal. In a modern Western European economy there is no place for such backward-looking contracts. They offer no job stability nor allow those who are given them any chance of creating a life: you can't get a housing tenancy, loan, etc.
Why is this important?
It's important as greater numbers of people are being offered these contracts and a higher percentage of these people are young. If we don't provide decent working contracts for young people they have no hope for the future, and this is detrimental to a feel-good factor in an economic recovery. It is also treating people as commodities.
