Surely those staff know the position when they start, many of them are summer student jobs.

Oh no.

You are criticising zero hours contracts, whilst I'm defending some of them.

No, you are defending all of them. You just don't see it.
There is no way to restrict this to just students doing summer jobs.

Dear *******,

Can you chip in just £1 to help fund the case against Sports Direct?

https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/the-peo ... rts-direct[url][/url]

It’s the people vs Sports Direct. Companies abusing zero hours contracts have been all over the news this week. The stories started after it was revealed that Sports Direct employ 90% of their staff on contracts with no guaranteed hours week to week, no holiday pay or sick pay. [1]

Today 38 Degrees member Zahera, an ex-employee of Sports Direct, is taking them to court to challenge their use of the controversial contracts. If she wins, it will send out shockwaves to all companies abusing these contracts. And it will put pressure on the government to tighten up the law and protect vulnerable employees.

Can you chip in just £1 to help fund the case against Sports Direct?

https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/the-people-vs-sports-direct

Elizabeth George, a lawyer at law firm Leigh Day, has offered to represent Zahera and will only receive a fee if we win the case. But there will still be costs involved. If Sports Direct decide to fight, it could cost over £10,000 to go to court, much more than Zahera could afford on her own.

But if enough of us chip in just £1 each to raise the money, it will send a powerful message to Sports Direct and their billionaire owner, who will have deep pockets to fund their legal team. They'll see that they are heading to court to face not just one ex-employee standing up for her colleagues’ rights, but an army of 38 Degrees members too.

Can you chip in £1 and back Zahera against Sports Direct?

https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/the-people-vs-sports-direct

38 Degrees members have already sent over 120,000 emails to Sports Direct demanding they treat their staff properly and give them the option of fairer contracts. [2] They have so far refused to comment, hoping the story will go away. But by taking them to court we’ll force them to.

Zero hours contracts are already being investigated by the government. But our action could set a legal precedent for all businesses, not just Sports Direct, and will put the government under pressure to act fast. [3]

We know that people powered legal cases can win. Last week, we celebrated after beating Health Minister Jeremy Hunt in court. [4] 38 Degrees members donated £15,000 to the Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign’s case against his plans to close their local hospital. It was a huge win in the fight to save our NHS and made headlines across the country.

Now let’s use our collective power to take on Sports Direct and strike a victory not just for Zahera, but for people on zero hours contracts across the country.

Can you chip in £1 to help fund the case against Sports Direct?

Thanks for standing with Zahera

I don't agree with the zero hours contracts at all, but, there must be some sort of casual labour contract available for when it's needed. These casual labour contracts should not be allowed to form the main supply of staff tho. I suppose to expect commonsense in these situations is a little too much to ask when those that use them are looking at profits before job security. My concerns are how these people on zero hours contracts are supposed to contribute towards the countries needs for the money go round to actually go round, no job security means no spending power which in turn has a bad effect on the economy as people are afraid to spend what little they earn in case they don't earn any next week.

Indeed toots casual short term contracts are of course available, the idea of zero hour contracts is to get people off of job seeker's allowance ie pad out the unemployment figures helped gleefully of course by the Von Windsor parasites .....................their immoral exploitative parasitical scum :evil:

Must admit, don't agree with zero hours contracts.
Did'nt see labour or the unions doing anything about it though.
