New report points out
One in 10 people are in insecure jobs, according to a new study the TUC.
The union said the proportion of people workin without fixed hours or basic employment rights has risen 27 per cent over the last five years.
It amounted, the TUC estimated, to three million people.
Its general secretary, Frances OโGrady, said: โInsecurity at work is becoming the new normal for too many workers.
โItโs happening across new and old industries, with workers forced onto shady contracts, whether theyโre Uber drivers, bar staff or teaching assistants.
โPeople need jobs they can live on and build a life around, but if you donโt how much work you will have from one day to the next, making ends meet is a nightmare.
โHow is a working parent supposed to plan childcare when they donโt know the hours theyโll be working? And how can it be right that in 2017, workers are at the mercy of bad bosses who can just take away all their hours or throw them off the job with no notice?โ
