Contracts: Zero-Hours Contracts and People

contracts: The nations and regions of the UK continue to diverge, according to The Guardian. For many, work is precarious as well as poorly paid nearly a million people are on zero-hours contracts and many more are in bogus self-employment, where employers have simply sought to shirk their responsibilities. Despite near full employment, pay continues to stagnate for the majority of people, even while growth has occurred. It is a state of profound economic injustice. Fundamental reform has happened twice before in the last century after periods of crisis with the Attlee government's Keynesian reforms in the 1940s and the Thatcher government's free market reforms in the 1980s. That's why the message of the Institute for Public Policy Research commission on economic justice, which I chair, is that the economy needs fundamental change. (news.financializer.com).
