According to the TUC's analysis, a significant number of British workers remain on zero-hours contracts, with many employed for over a year, and some for more than a decade. Despite their long tenure, many are still denied regular employment rights. This situation is highlighted as a barrier to economic growth, especially in light of proposed government legislation to secure more rights for these workers. TUC polling reveals low satisfaction among zero-hours contract workers. Critics of the employment rights bill argue it might hurt business, but the TUC believes stronger rights can enhance the labor market and economic productivity.
"Zero-hours contracts give bosses almost total control over their employees, leading to a situation where hundreds of thousands of workers are deprived of regular employment rights."
"Insecure work is not just a personal issue for those affected; it limits overall economic growth, as highlighted by the TUC's analysis of employment patterns."
