Well you are talking about someone who sees Venezuela as the model of how to govern. Although he's gone a bit quiet on that since their socialism drove the economy into the ground. |  |

As someone who has worked on a Zero hours contract, more specifically at sports direct (The horror stories are far from true in stores) I can tell you 90% of the staff who work there are students who like the flexibility of working hours. It also means more people have a form of work.
Banning zero hours would cost thousands of people jobs, especially younger people who can work more and more hours as they gain experience in the work place. [Post edited 29 Apr 2017 23:28]

Only needs a slight tweak to the wording of the contract from Zero Hours to Minimum Hours, whereby an employer will guarantee a minimum number of hours subject to the employees making themselves available. The contract can also specify whether it is considered part or full time.
The minimum hours can be rostered and agreed in advance; say 32 hours per month, with the option to work further hours at the flat rate.
Most of my company's employees have a guaranteed minimum salary which ranges from @ £10 to £15k, the average individual will earn £30k and the hardest working are higher rate tax payers.
My wife has a zero hours contract and can work between 8 and 40 hours per week [Mon-Fri only] which suits us both. |  |

How do you work out what zero contracts really are?
There are several different versions but the tories have used them mainly as a way to reduce the unemployment count - e.g. if you are NOT working but on a zero hours contract you cannot claim JSA which is how the tories count unemployment.
I would be interested in what you see as a fair zero hour contract
& if you think a better way of counting the unemployed would be to count those who are inactive? |  | | |

Sports Direct - model employers
You can usually tell who the manager is, they're the one in their mid-20's :p
There seems to be a deliberate policy of employing youngsters, presumably because they're cheaper |  |
