I understand there is legislation which will introduce a ban on zero hour working. It will introduce the banding of hours so that where people have regular part-time work but which is not in a contract, employers will be obliged to put it in the contract. There will be other provisions to protect casual workers. It is very much part of the Government's strategy.

On access to the WRC for disputes, I understand there is legislation which provides that workers can get access to the WRC even where an employer refuses to recognise the union.
