Less than five months ago, the post below appeared on a Labour Party feed.... but now (presumably under pressure from employers), the Party has decided to 'reform' zero hours contracts instead.
While one can hope zero hours contracts will be constrained this is not the same as 'banning' them - whatever you may think of the reasoning for retaining some from of ZHCs, this is yet one more gift to the Greens in the Gorton & Denton by-election.

The view of Labour's Employment Rights Bill from someone who one might have thought would have been helped by it....
She's not hopeful, not least as she expects cynical employers to manipulate the system to expand the loopholes in the proposed legislation on zero hours contracts.

"[UK] Labour’s ‘new deal for workers’ will not fully ban zero-hours contracts"
Okay so for clarity, I'll explain that this headline is approaching it from the angle that Labour should be banning zero hour contracts, and people think they're bad for leaving in a loophole.
I'm disabled and I employ 2 PAs on regular contracts to support me with day-to-day things.
Sometimes one PA calls in sick and the other PA can't do emergency cover. In that situation I text my back-up PA, who is only sporadically available, but sometimes can do a few hours at short notice.
She's on a zero hours contract, and the hourly rate is slightly higher because I am aware that it means she doesn't get annual leave and such. She can say no if she'd rather be washing her hair, no penalty. She does maybe four hours in a month, one month in three? We negotiated it together, and it seems like we're both happy with it.
So I guess what I'm curious about is: What do people who are against zero hours contracts think that we should be doing instead? Should she be like on a retainer, and if I ask her to come in at short notice she can't say no? Or is there some other model that I'm not aware of?
