Background

I want 8 hours a week employment contracts to be banned for good as they can make it hard to afford to save up to achieve milestones like buying a house, learning to drive etc.

Additional details

I think that people on 8 hour contracts have to spend all their money on the cost of living. I want employers to have to offer more working hours per week.
