Part time is better than zero hours contracts.


Not all zero hour contracts are bad.
Some people want to be on the NHS bank system and supply teaching, etc.
Labour party mantra - Chant in Unison "Zero hour contracts are bad"

No one is saying they are inherently bad, but they are only good if you
want them.
There should be a minimum term for employment contracts, perhaps 15
hours per week, and if you want to go below that then it should be your
right to negotiate that with your employer.
It already is. And the courts have also intervened, which rarely gets
mentioned. Holiday pay should now be based on your average ACTUAL hours
not your contractual hours.
