Title: Ken Loach is so often right, unfortunately.

The Navigators is a 2001 British film directed by Ken Loach with screenplay by Rob Dawber.

It tells the story of the reactions of five Sheffield rail workers to the privatisation of the railway maintenance organisation for which they all work, and the consequences for them. The film was inspired by the failure of the Connex South Central and the Connex South Eastern franchises: Connex lost both franchises because of poor service.

I don’t think anyone should be forced to be on 1 but the majority of people seem to want to be on them

On the want them, I agree you should not be forced to be on a zero hour contract but to outlaw them would put more people into hardship

Is there a reason you've posted this because it certainly doesn't say a majority want to be on a zero hours contract.
