Hundreds of thousands of British workers are on zero-hours contracts despite being with the same employer for years, according to analysis from the TUC.
The majority of zero-hours contract workers have been with their employer for more than 12 months, while one in eight have not been granted regular employment rights after more than a decade working in the same place, the organisation said.
More than a million people are working on a zero-hours contract basis, and the TUC said a clear majority of them, about 720,000 workers, have been with their current employer for over a year, based on ONS labour force data.
About 130,000 people were still retained on zero-hours contracts after 10 years with the same employer, it found.
