In a recent article in the Mirror, Helen Pattison, a young worker talks about the scandal of zero-hour contracts and her own experience doing pub work. These contracts allow bosses to mess about with their workers hours at will as suits their own needs.

It also masks the scandal of underemployment which greatly exceeds the official figure for youth unemployment which itself is over a million!
