YOUNG workers took to the streets of Glasgow last night in protest against “Victorian” working practices, zero-hours contracts and poverty wages.

Activists from the Scottish TUC’s Better than Zero campaign targeted 12 of the city’s worst employers with 12 key demands, including an end to zero-hours contracts, a living wage and union recognition.

Demonstrations were held outside high street stores, restaurants and chain pubs, with the activists talking to workers and the public about poor employment practice and its effects, particularly over the busy Christmas period.
