it's time the government protected workers and banned zero hour contracts :mad:

Staff on zero-hours contracts at Boots may be sent to work abroad with little notice.

They Queen even has staff on zero hours contracts.

I doubt very much that any Conservative led government will seriously challenge this practise. It's bosses taking the :censored: aided by cheap Eastern European labour which enables them to get away with it.

they have to abide by a ridiculous work contract that must be on a thin line of being in breach of human rights, :NoNo:

There was something on the TV yesterday about Amazon and these zero hour contracts. Seem most unfair.

Let the Union bashers be proud of this :NoNo:

What else should we expect when the present government keeps on chipping away at employment rights

Normal Workers pay goes down and Boardroom pay goes sky high = over the last 5 years

What some of these companies are paying their workers is a disgrace :cwm23:

This seems to be the latest fad like exposure about something that's been around for years. I received a stupid round robin email earlier suggesting I boycott Sports Direct, no doubt the one about Boots will follow shortly

As one would expect Labour did nothing to outlaw them whilst in power.
