Zero-hours contracts

From last Monday, 0.004% of the working population (125,000 workers) can breathe a huge sigh of relief because the Exclusivity Terms in Zero Hours Contracts (Redress) Regulations 2015 says that:

(1) Dismissal of a zero-hours contract employee is automatically unfair if the principal reason is that they breached a contractual clause preventing them from working for someone else;
(2) There is no qualifying period of service required to bring such a claim; and
(3) It is unlawful to submit a zero-hours worker to any detriment for working for another employer in breach of a contractual clause preventing them from doing so.

Can't see it making much difference if they want rid of someone they will just give them zero hours as per contract.

My thought entirely. It's happened at a bus company I work for, 2 drivers arguing, the supervisor said to me they wouldn't be offered any more work. And they haven't.
