Sign the petition against zero hour contracts

The Maritime Union is supporting the campaign against zero hour contracts. Please sign the Labour Party petition here.

Sign the peti­tion to tell the gov­ern­ment to stop Zero-hour con­tracts.

Zero-hour con­tracts are wrong. They mean work­ers have no secur­ity.

Zero-hour con­tracts mean work­ers are put on-call, without any guar­an­tee of pay, or hours, and no com­pens­a­tion.

They’re the worst type of employ­ment and there’s no need to have them.

“It impacts on all aspects of life. No steady income means rent­al dis­putes, days without food, no hol­i­days, no sav­ings. There is no sta­bil­ity in life and I can’t afford the basics” — Zero-hour work­er.

Sign the peti­tion to tell the gov­ern­ment to stop Zero-hour con­tracts.
