#UK has seen ‘explosion’ in #InsecureWork since 2011, says #TUC report

Record high of 4.1 million people found to be in #PrecariousEmployment such as #ZeroHoursContracts and #CasualWork

There is no worker shortage. There is a cheapskate surplus.

"#Workershortage plagues #hospitality industry, '#lowwages', insecure #casualwork cited as factors"

"I don't think the #wages are the issue, I think it's the after-hours work. I think after COVID people just don't want to do it any more."

I bet if you offered people $250k a year they'd do it. So yeah, it's the wages.
