I have no doubt that there are some real cruddy employers out there, but the tribunal law as it stood was open to abuse, and the rise in figures for claims over the last ten years prove it.

as far as im concerned a zero hour contract is just a different way of saying unemployed but i bet folk on zero hours per week dont appear on unemployment figures.

Its a scam to con people out of any benefits or help they get and to fudge unemployment figures

first they attack the vulnerable and disabled in society and now they are going after people who work but need a little help

just keep in mind his actions over the EU referendum when he prommises anything and you wont go wrong

basically the exact opposite of what he says he will do ;)

so if he says he will vote in favour of reversing the zero hour contracts take it as a dead certain he wont and should he prommise to take action to ensure workers rights are restored then again assume he wont and if he says the sky is blue...

just take a look up and check

ya see this is the problem these days both red and blue are as crooked and bent as each other and as long as red and blue are the main two parties teh country will be basically screwed
