TWO former health ministers have called on Humza Yousaf to ban zero-hours contracts in the social care sector.
The SNP’s Alex Neil and Labour’s Malcolm Chisholm co-signed a letter from campaign group Zero Hours Justice calling for an end to this type of “insecure and low-paid work”.
They say the Scottish Government’s plans for a wide-ranging overhaul of the sector in the National Care Service Bill should be used as an opportunity to end zero-hours contracts in which employers do not have to give minimum working hours.
