Poll: Should zero-hour contracts be outlawed?

Ed Miliband yesterday condemned firms which use "Victorian practices" to exploit their workers in the latest stage of his assault on the use of zero-hours contracts.

The Labour leader stepped up his attack on what he calls the "zero-zero economy" - where workers are left without guaranteed hours and those at the top can get away without paying tax - as part of his attempt to bounce back after a bruising round of infighting.

He singled out high street chain Sports Direct as an example of a firm where the "vast majority" of employees are on zero-hours contracts.
