Rejected petition Make Zero Hours Contracts Illegal

More details

We, the undersigned, respectfully submit that the practice of holding employees to zero hours contracts is disrespectful and demeaning to working men and women, who are trying to maintain a decent standard of living and bring up their families.

We therefore request that the government pass legislation to outlaw this unfair practice, and enforce the use of proper contracts.
