We have always had Casual Labour, Why do they now call it Zero Hours Contract??
Brian

Casual Labour today is regulated more, there are costs to the Employer, where zero hours have no such costs.

Oh dear Lewis, the voice of doom monger.
Since Brexit a number of companies announced that they will be investing , bring jobs and boosting the economy.
Nisan have announced new models to be built in the UK, BMW have announced the building of the new electric Mini at Cowley.
As long as British products are competitive, well dsgned people will want them.
You forget one thing as all the Remoaners do, we import more goods from the EU than we sell, do you think manufacturers will do anything that will damage their sales?
The EU are terrified that the UK will make successful of Brexit and that is the reason why they are trying to punish the UK. If the UK is successful other countries will depart the UK.

i would think anyone working for a zero hour firm is only filling in until finding a regular job? when we have gone from the EU you may find our manufacturing industries will start producing many things we need even small firms will start up if we need anything make it here? jp

Whilst we are in the EU, we can only trade with countries that the EU has a trade treaty.
There is a company down south that makes hovercraft, ideal for travelling over seas, and swampy grounds. Brazil wanted to buy some, the company had to decline the sales because there are no trade deals with the EU and Brazil.

Vic you are a man I enjoy reading most of your posts, but come on Vic why would the Irish (a very small economy)want to be buying Scotch Whisky, Salmon, Beer and Cheese when they have their own which by the way they export world wide , come on get real here. The population of the whole of Ireland N&S is less than 6 million.Now I know the paddies like a drink but if the UK is relying on Beer , Whiskey sales to keep the UK economy afloat ffs get real, oh forgot they also have a very large Salmon industry.
