Angela Eagle drops out of Labour leadership bid

Bills are not policy statements.

I am on a zero hours contract through choice. My employer offered me F/T but I declined. The current arrangement offers me total flexibility and the employers asks me when I'm available rather than tells when to make myself available. Some employers may abuse them but ZHC are absolutely not a problem in themselves.

It is the abuse he wants to get rid of, and not just with in zero hours contracts. Employers left to their own devices, have to pay the least possible or lose out to more ruthless competitors. That is why there needs to be minimums set and regulations on conditions. These provide a level playing field for both employees and employers.
