Lib Dem MP rebuked for claiming some workers 'like zero-hours contracts'
Mike Crockart condemned for ignoring bad practice, exploitation and safety threats faced by casual workers
Lib Dem MP Mike Crockart was rebuked by a leading trade unionist yesterday when he suggested that some people like working on zero-hours contracts.
In a clash at at parliamentary committee hearing, rail union RMT assistant general secretary Mick Cash accused the MP of ignoring crude cost-cutting and threats to safety.
Even if a zero-hours contract appeared to suit certain individuals, “it doesn’t make it right and it doesn’t make it safe,” Mr Cash told Mr Crockart.
