Frankly, if you are looking for full time employment, zero hour contracts are not what you should be looking for. If you are a student looking for some extra money during the holidays with flexible hours so you can still have plenty of time to socialise, these contracts are perfect.

That is my point though retail/manufacturing areas are all starting to go either agency or zero hour. they have cut off a large areas of the working class person and paying minimum wage for jobs that should clearly be paying much more for the work required hence the reason I said you get a lot of none english working in these roles now as they appear to be happy doing this.
Perhaps the same job over in their country pays half that to what they get over here I don't know the reasons why this side of the industry is changing.
This could be down to why these companies are moving as it clearly is cheaper abroad which they have stated before the reasons for doing this while some just like to use brexit as a reason.
Clearly there is a market area where all these foreigners steal our jobs so to speak and is the lower end of the market which doesn't appear to be getting reported on.
I work for the NHS we have nursing staff from all over the world. The first thing they say to me is the working rights and pay are much better than their own countries hence coming to work here.
