Trade unions are raising alarms regarding Labour's approach to zero-hours contracts, suggesting it may not fulfill the party's manifesto commitments. Union leaders are seeking clarity from Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, particularly about the criteria for new guaranteed hours contracts, which they fear could exclude many workers.
The unions argue that the proposed policy must apply universally to ensure fairness and security for all workers, including full-time employees. As the consultation period nears its end, the unions emphasize the importance of addressing their concerns to avoid diluting the intended reforms.
