MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT BACK ZERO HOURS JUSTICE CAMPAIGN

29/1/2020

 
Julian Richer has received support from opposition Members of Parliament for his campaign to end unilaterally-imposed zero hours contracts.

An Early Day Motion commending Richer for launching Zero Hours Justice was passed with support of 20 MPs, including Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell.

In particular, the motion backs the Zero Hours Justice campaign for
  • Providing advice and legal support forced to work on a zero hours basis;
  • Believing that good and responsible employers recognise that their staff deserve financial security and the ability to budget effectively and have no problem in offering workers the option of contracts with a guaranteed minimum number of paid hours each week;
  • Raising awareness that the use of zero hours contracts deters workers from complaining about serious abuses in the workplace such as bullying, sexual harassment and health and safety breaches;
  • Calling on all public, taxpayer-funded bodies to stop using zero hours contracts for both direct employees and privately-contracted workers

The full wording of the Early Day Motion and a list of its sponsors and supporters is available on the Parliament website.
