Banning all Zero Hour Contracts

Labour will Ban
Fire and ReHire

Fire and rehire should absolutely be banned. But zero hour contracts? Surely they're handy for students, carers,.parents ... People whose lifestyle is varied and might not be able to commit to a rota, but still want work?

Like, before I started work at the school I'm at now, I'd do supply work through an agency. If I couldn't be bothered or just wanted to go away, I'd just have to update my online calendar (or ignore my phone lol). Would that flexibility still exist if zero hour contracts were banned?

And I think the NHS has the same thing? My mum calls it the "Nurse Bank", but as far as I know it's for all NHS roles?
