Interesting Fact - Work in the UK

According to the ONS (Office for National Statistics) there are 1.4m jobs in the UK offering zero hour contracts. (Companies are, not surprisingly, attracted to the idea that they can hire staff without guaranteeing a minimum number of paid hours.   These " con tracts" (emphasis on "con" deliberate), often tie a worker to a single firm, but do not guarantee any employment from week to week.)

Interesting Fact - Work

According to the Office of National Statistics, over 1 million Britons are now on zero-hour contracts. (Under these contracts the employee agrees to be available for work as and when required, but the employer is not obliged to provide said work. Some zero-hours contracts even restrict the employee from seeking other work. 90% of people employed at McDonald's are tied to these contracts. I wonder if they are Luvin It?)
