Finally, I must address one of the Government’s arguments that I find particularly disingenuous. The Government have suggested that workers may be afraid to ask for guaranteed hours under the current system. This is, I believe, nonsense. It is quite something to claim to be pro-worker and have such a low opinion of those workers and their ability to ask for a contract. The idea that workers cannot or should not be able to request guaranteed hours is an insult. Workers can understand their own needs and they are making informed decisions about their employment.
