It will be interesting to see what effect the labour law changes will make. Labour have said that they will ban zero hours contracts. Probably no bad thing overall as they can be exploitative, though some workers like them. For example a friend of mind owns a small restaurant with rooms in a pretty village about 10 miles away. Trade is patchy and mostly pre-booked: he doesn't open now if bookings are insufficient. He employs 8 local people on a flexible basis. They don't all work at the same time and are mostly wanting short notice flexibility because of study, children etc. Usually he has two of them "on shift" for each night he is open and they rotate as a group. It is effectively zero hours contracts and he has notified all of them that if the rules come in outlawing this, then none of the roles will be available from that point on. I'm not sure what he will actually do to cover the evening service labour need. Have labour thought it through properly?
