I say again, zero hours are fine for those who want them,for when it suits them.
Agency work is fine too,as long as people are able to cope on such a situation.
All work is good for gaining experience, contacts and possible, I stress, possible better employment in the future.

What all those people on zero hours contracts should not be however, is included in official full employment figures.

Also anyone who wants full time work really,should not be hogtied by these zero hours contracts of then not being able to do any work for any other company.
Having to be contactable daily,even hourly, just in case someone rings in sick and at short notice they have to go to work that day,or for any other reason the company or business demands them to.

That is in my view ridiculous exploitation.

The vast majority of food bank users are tossers that go there so they can buy more booze and ciggies with the money they save on the weekly shopping bill.

I thought Kizzy's post was well thought out. Your personal circumstances had nothing to do with her analogy.

There's many a true word said in jest Sam,but what's not funny is ,it's probably true.

If you look at my pretty little graph it shows it isn't only small businesses using these contracts, only 10% of businesses with under 20 employees use 0hr contracts whereas those with over 250 employees employ 50% of their workforce this way.
However menial the work people deserve job security.
No I am not in favour of erosion of workers right :laugh: but it is not as black and white as you paint and there are rights and wrongs on both sides, and the pretty little graph is based on how many businesses in the UK?

:laugh: I do see what you are saying but businesses have so many other options open to them now not least moving parts of their business to other countries where labour is cheaper, so trying to eradicate zero hours contracts is tricky, I agree with Joey that zero hours contracts should not be counted in the "jobs" figures.
