be interesting to see the stats on how many jobs are now part time or reduced hours comapred to say 10 years ago, im guessing it's a fairly high percentage.

Zero hour contracts are no good to anyone except kids who still live at home and have parents who can help them on short weeks.

No one with a family or who has their own place can cope.

zero hour contracts are a con,most retail outlets try to operate them and prefer part time employees as the national insurance doesnt hit them so hard.

That's all any of the factories offer around here, or any of the agencies.

I think they will up the points, it will be far more difficult to claim or appeal.

Apparently the regime they inherited from Labour was pretty tough already and has led to a large number of those judged fit for work taking their case to appeal and getting the decision reversed.

It sounds like tightening up the system further is a sop to the Daily Mail brigade and may end up with even higher profile and expensive appeals - perhaps under EU legislation.
