Debbie Abrahams MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commented on the Resolution Foundation’s analysis of zero hours contracts saying;

“This analysis showing nearly one million workers on zero hours contracts confirms unprecedented levels of insecurity among working people.

“With real wages set to be lower in 2021 than they were in 2008, deep Tory cuts to Universal Credit and a punitive sanctions regime, it is increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet.

“The next Labour government will implement a real Living Wage, ban exploitative zero hours contracts and reverse pernicious cuts to working people.”
