I think effectively I have worked many times on zero-hour contracts.
The difference of course is whether it is to your advantage or that you have no choice and will take what you can get.
If you have a valuable skillset, especially if it is in short supply, and no need to work as many hours as you can, then zero-hour contracts can be good and suitable for both parties.
But if you do not have such a skill set and are scratching for whatever you can get, then they are b***** awful and an aberration.
They shouldn't be allowed. It is simply taking advantage of a position of power versus a position of need.
