The new administration is under fire over its zero-hours contract plan, inherited from the previous government and meant to boost worker security. Unions warn the proposed rules may fall short due to loopholes, risking leaving many workers unprotected — demanding broad, inclusive coverage. Business groups counter that the policy could impose costly burdens on struggling firms, sparking heated debate. While legislation has passed, key details — like an upper hours threshold — are still being hashed out. With the business secretary back in charge as consultations wind down, the government insists it remains committed to ending exploitative contracts and securing fair incomes for workers, fine-tuning the policy to get it right.
