MOST zero-hours contract workers want regular hours as many have shifts cancelled regularly without compensation and feel pressure to go to work unwell, a new TUC poll reveals today.

The survey suggested that 84 per cent of Britain’s one million workers on the highly insecure contracts want regular hours of work, compared with 14 per cent who don’t.

Three in four of those polled also said they have experienced difficulty meeting living expenses due to not being offered enough hours.
