What if the person has no choice but to work in insecure employment? And you have a family to support? In the UK life is pretty bleak for the unskilled or the unlucky. Your job options are either a zero hours contract, or you go gig. In both cases you have zero security, get screwed if you have an accident, and likely earn below subsistence. This is why there are so many food banks in the UK. Gig and zero hours are exploitation of desperate people. I have seen so many deliveroo riders in London having accidents, knowing they won't get sick pay, it's quite frankly disgusting.
