Even the millions with no job security on minimum legal salaries?


You don't want a legal minimum then?
Then they could be paid less.
How about you dennis? Ever tried to bring up a family on a zero
hours
contact?
Or is it one of those things you feel is good for others - but not
yourself.


Some people want zero hours contracts and many wouldn't have a job at
all without one.
They get benefits the same as unemployed people if there is no work.

Its the ones forced to be self employed that you should be concerned
about as they don't pay in so can't get some of the benefits.

The courts and the government are sorting that as uber has found out.



The courts went some way last year when they determined that holiday pay
should include average overtime worked not just contracted hours.
Similarly they could determine that other benefits e.g. maternity pay
should be based on actual rather than contractual hours.
