From Teribus "less than 3% of the working population of the country are working on zero hours contracts. Zero hour contract or no work at all which do you want?"

So, there's no third option, you know, something along the lines of a living wage for 40 hours.

Again from Teribus "1: "The trade union movement has been just about dismantled in this country" "Just as well it was, back in the day they were out to ruin the country"

No union in history has set out to ruin the country that is pure right wing rhetoric of the worst kind and blatantly untrue. To get a decent wage or salary has been the primary focus of much trade union work. To gain better conditions, equality, safer working practices oh yes they strived for that and have been constantly rebuffed by successive Tory governments when small progress has been made.

If it where not for the Trade Unions we wouldn't have acts like the Employment Protection Acts from which we benefitted, the Sexual Discrimination Act from which the vast majority of people have gained.

Without Trade Union activity we would, in time, revert to archaic working practices that would see the majority of people as little more than feudal serfs.

Zero hour contracts are just the start.
