Indeed, people are walking around with blinkers on, zero hour contracts are rife and getting more prevalent, companies using agencies, agencies exploiting workers, many younger ones, getting a text to come in for 4 hours, getting sent home after 2 hours, never knowing how many hours you'll get one week to the next, many of these folk have rent, have kids, have bills like the rest of us, and it's a shocking indictment of the gov't actively encouraging it...(i also abhor Labour under Blair/Brown for their part in zero hour contract scandal by the way)
