Comment on It's time to pay attention

I don’t think I agree with the ending of 0 hour contracts, the way it works right now means if anything comes up I don’t have to come in. I can’t force them to give me extra hours the same way they can’t force me to work extra hours, it’s a 2 way street. Not to mention that the sort of places that would fire you for not attending a shift you never agreed to work generally pay cash in hand without a contract anyway so this law wouldn’t affect them.

this is false equivalence. employers generally have much more power than the employees. this is what workers’ rights is about - to bring more power to the workers to create a more level playing field.
a law doesn’t have to work in all cases to be a useful law.
