This is a past thread that went to tribunal, I thought one hour contracts were dead but presumably not.

No, I know a few people on them.

thanks for the link, its defo still going on. its a complete farce, a bit like my contract. im on a 19 hour but have yet to work under 35 (since january). i'd love to be able to say no to my dim about working over my time but family needs an all that. 19 hours doesnt even cover my weekly outgoings, never mind feeding 2 wee boys. i use to be a full timer 10 years ago, god how the company has gone downhill in 10 years..........
