Read the title of the thread, "britain denies" however if you,re in possession of information that contradicts it perhaps you,d care to share it.

Well they have now said they are going to look at changing them

That would have been a clever move, ‘Remain’ wasn’t an issue at the time.

 

Hey but there’s hope, Johnson is in charge, Brexit is ‘sort of done’, nothing stopping the Old Etonian getting rid of zero hour contracts.

 

 

Most of the people I know on Zero Hours contracts are foreign born.  And they would be horrified if Zero Hours contracts were axed.

They like the flexibility of returning to their home country for periods of time, knowing they can come back and pick up another job, quickly and easily.

And do these people claim tax and rent credits?i,m sure it is nice for them but this happy state of affairs is detrimental to the working conditions of the british workers,having said i don,t personally blame them for taking advantage of a loophole.

It's not sure that most of the zero hour contract workers, who are actually UK born, would share the same enthusiasm.

So zero our contract workers actually prefer to be told on a daily basis when they,ll be required and for how many hours?this of could of course  be more on the day i.e you could be told you,re working extra hours,so that makes things practically impossible to arrange childcare or have any vestige of a social life,and you think workers prefer to work under these conditions?

What means "It's not sure that most of the zero hour contract workers, who are actually UK born, would share the same enthusiasm". (For zero hour contracts)?

I have no interest in searching through individual questionable laws, I am only interested in the UK to being free to now do what it wants.....

Isn't it great........?       :clap2:

 

So you would have no objections to the tories dismantling workers' rights and protections if these laws had arisen from the EU, is that correct?

If you are looking for an argument via your hatred for authority, you have come to the wrong place.

 

The fact is, your lefty party may do the same thing in the future, in which case you would be very quiet here...

You seem to be looking for something that probably isn't there, scaremongering again....Chill out chap.  ????

Hatred of authority? I am not sure what gave you that idea.

 

I am simply curious as to why you were cheering on the suggestion that laws were being considered for being scrapped when you don't know what those laws are or how they may actually be protecting you or your fellow brits.

 

It seems a bit churlish, does it not, to simply erase all remnants of our EU past regardless of the benefits you might be currently gaining from it?

Read the article to see what is being done and who said rights had been removed...I know I didn't

As you are against the UK controlling its own laws, regarding this topic, and complaining about it, show me what rights have been removed so far...?
