Zero hour contracts are now the norm and what the Tory party have lauded as viable employment for those claiming JSA. YOu will be sanctioned for not taking a zero hours contract and all your means of income stopped. This puts you in the not claiming unemployment benefit category of statistics the government uses to convince the rest of us that the economy is growing. What they dont tell you is that the worker are technically employed but not actually bringing in an income and not entitled to any benefit support. The Tories have brought back the workhouse, only this time, the work house is just a set of inescapable and horrific work conditions workers find themselves in rather than the stony Victorian prison buildings, here they are exploited for the benefit of fat cat CEOs and bankers and in effect are worker slaves at the financial mercy of their employers who use them as a robotic life form not entitled to a normal family life.
