In the UK, its illegal to do so, but of course in precarious #gigecnomy & #zerohours contract settings, that's not applicable!
-
Exploitative practices have been common across the UK's #universities - mainly through forms of #zerohours contracts often dignified by being called 'sessional work'.... now #OxfordUniversity has lost a case on the denial of employment rights to two #academics over a 15 year period in which they were employed on 'sham contracts'.
This sort of employment is too widespread in the HE sector, so it would be good if #university HR departments took note & ended the practice

For many of us #zerohours contracts are something that happens to others; we sympathise but have little direct experience of its insidious impact on life, aspirations & general #mentalhealth.
Here's a long read, which explores one person's experience; often refusing the required subservience, Rose Atkinson says 'I don’t just want to live, I want to thrive. And I don’t think that’s too much to ask'!
Its heartbreaking that she (like so many) is in this position!

Sarah O'Connor asks in the FT, why don't people leave rubbish (exploitative) #jobs... & suggests some answers:
Fear the next job will be worse;
The sunk costs of building a relationship with a manager who allocates hours (in #zerohours contract);
#publictransport limits the choice of locations you can feasibly work;
fear of disrupting vital #benefits payments while shifting jobs;
Benefits rules also declare leaving a job due to low pay is not a 'good reason' leading to 3 month 'sanction'!

@SubtleBlade Though what #AngelaRayner said was ok
The devil will be in the detail
AND whether #Labour dither, wilt and collapse under the least pressure from the organisations that like zero hours contracts and poverty pay#UKPolitics #UKPol #Poverty #MinimumWage #ZeroHours #Starmer

In among the latest #labourmarket data from the ONS is the following:
Over 1.125m people were employed on a #zerohours contract between October to December 2022.
This is an 8.5% increase on the previous quarter & represents an all time high
Young workers, women workers and people born outside the UK are all more like to be in zero hours employment.
Moreover, 1 in 9 workers aged between 16 and 24 (11.7% ) are now on a zero hours contract!
The world of work is precarious for too many
-
And then putting (early retired) returnees on #zerohours contracts is certainly not going to help given that's exactly the sort of management bullish*t that may have encouraged their exit from the labour force in the first place
(see report below on rising numbers of over-50s on ZH contracts, the very group the 'mid-life MOT' is going to be aimed at).
h/t @lindaheap for signposting this article this morning!

From BoltsMag: "But the GOP is also looking for gains. In 2022, Democrats unexpectedly flipped four chambers, which sparked major policy swings. This fall, control of three of them hangs by a thread. In Pennsylvania’s House, Michigan’s House, and Minnesota’s Senate, losing a single seat would cost Democrats the majority. " #Nov5th

Notes on the Two Aspirin #Stromboli : Ideally taken 30 minutes prior to Zero hour. You could of course avoid the risk altogether , but what's the fun in that ?
This will of course, if all else fails, not be a good death in the sense of #TheLastSamurai, merely stupid in that you knew the risks and went there anyway. Happy , not glorious. Sometimes that's all there is... -
