Zero hours contracts zoomed up by 28% in one year. Zero hours contracts can mean exactly what they say: no work. No knowing whether there will be work. No knowing whether you can cover the rent, the bills and whether you can put food on the kids' table. No claiming job seekers. Welcome to Toribus's Britain. The Tories love those contracts and want them to become the norm, as they represent the ultimate when it comes to the "flexible labour market", the latest Tory euphemism for pay as little as you can get away with and hire and fire at will. The rest of your post is typical waffle and unsupportable assertions about unions setting out to ruin the country and a Scottish referendum that simply will not happen with a Labour administration backed by the SNP. It can't be denied that it could well happen if Camoron hangs on. Billyboy, if you're so worried about another Scottish referendum, better vote Labour, eh?
