Labour candidate for the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election has claimed that the SNP are using zero-hour contracts in their campaign as he and Labour came under fire.

The thorny issue of zero-hour contracts has become a major issue across the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election with claims that the SNP are using them in their campaign.

“These contracts give all the flexibility to the employers, all the insecurity to workers. It removes guarantees of paid holidays, paid sick leave, or job security. It makes it impossible to plan your life, or get a mortgage or bank loan, as the actual hours worked don’t count when it comes to creditors.

Labour insists that they are still deeply opposed to zero-hour contracts, with their Rutherglen and Hamilton West candidate claiming that the SNP are using them in their by-election campaign. “As MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, I would fight tirelessly to implement Labour’s New Deal For Working People that will make zero-hours contracts a thing of the past.
