According to TUC's analysis, although it has been with the same employer for many years, hundreds of thousands of British workers are still in zero -hour contract.

The organization said that most zero -time contract workers have been with employers for more than 12 months, and after working at the same place for more than ten years, one -eighth has not obtained regular employment rights.

More than one million people are based on a zero -hour contract. Tuc said that according to ONS labor data, it is clear that most people (about 720,000 workers) have been with the current employers for more than a year.

It found that after 10 years with the same employer, about 130,000 people were retained on a zero -hour contract.

The analysis was published. The union leader said that the unsafe work prevented economic growth and faced a conservative attack on the government's employment claim bill.

The bill was introduced to the parliament in October, but it is expected to become a law at least 2026, including the right to give zero -hour workers. If they hire the same working hours for a long time, they can give zero -hour workers.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch attacked the government on the issue of the Prime Minister last week, accusing KEIR Starmer on a bill that the bill will increase the cost of the company and the cost of the company and the cost of the company and the cost To prevent recruitment, spelling “higher prices, less employment opportunities and growth less”.

However, TUC said that “unsafe work popularity” is preventing workers and the economy, and more powerful rights will increase the labor market, improve productivity, and increase demand.

According to its analysis, the average income of the average contract workers per hour is about 10.68 pounds per hour, which is 15.69 pounds than the median median.

TUC Secretary -General Paul Nowak said: “The zero -time contract almost makes the boss fully control the income and time of the workers, which makes it a nightmare for family planning budget and parenting.

“After 14 years of conservative decline, the era of low right wing, low salary and low productivity has been tested to destroy. Those who defend the status quo are putting their vested interests in the lives of labor people and ignoring the evidence in front of them. “

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce and Trade said: “Our employment rights bill will give workers' rights to ensure working hours, reasonable new rights notifications, and paids that cancel or relocate in a short time to end the zero -hour contract.

“We are committed to ending unilateral flexibility to ensure that workers have greater predictability to better plan our own lives and finances.”

The employment rights bill will also bring: reform, including the right to enjoy the right to parent -child love and protect the unfair dismissal of the new employees; the sick leave salary on the first day of the sick leave; Employees, they bring them back with lower terms and conditions.
