Scotland: STUC targets the ‘disgrace’ of zero-hours
Better Than Zero scheme opens worker helpline

THE Scottish TUC launches a new campaign from Ayr today to end what it calls the “national disgrace” of zero-hours contracts.

Better Than Zero, run by young people for young people, will take on the issue of insecure work and offer a new phone helpline for expert advice on (0141) 566-6875.

Youth representative Suki Sangha will launch the initiative.
