Talk:Zero-hour contract/Archives/2014

The strange reference

This reference <ref name=TLS>{{cite web|title=EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT - ZERO HOURS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT|publisher=The Legal Stop|accessdate=August 5, 2013}}</ref> is the way it is because the url is blacklisted. The site is one of number of websites in the UK that offer canned legal documents. There are several others which offer the text of zero-hour contracts. The choice is arbitrary, but consulting any of them which show the text of a zero-hour contract will give a clue as to the boilerplate involved. User:Fred Bauder Talk 11:04, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

There is also an error in the references. The article by Pyper and Harari is correctly cited under 'further reading', but in the references, Pyper is mispelled as "Piper". Does someone know how to fix this?

Daily Mail and Channel 4

The relevant paragraph currently reads thus:

"On 2 August 2013, the Daily Mail ran an exposé outing Amazon.com UK for "tagging" employees with GPS and subjecting them to harsh working conditions; describing the employees as "human robots". The newspaper stated that Amazon used "controversial" zero-hour contracts as a tool to reprimand staff.[27] A Channel 4 documentary broadcast on 1 August 2013 employed secret cameras in Amazon UK's Rugeley warehouse to document worker abuses and made claims similar to those of the Daily Mail.[28]"

I'm going to change the order around - the Daily Mail's 'expose' was in fact a retelling of the Channel 4 program the night before, but the current wording suggests otherwise. Seems a Daily Mail employee slipped in and did this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.214.245 (talk) 08:15, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
