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.

And what if the employer can't offer 15 hours a week? The choice may be
10 hours/week or none. You seem to be suggesting that legislating so
that "none" is the only option on offer. Who benefits from that?



Self righteous socialists who put ideology before the well-being of
their own followers.
