Stephen Flynn called for employment powers to be transferred to Holyrood but Ian Murray said Labour would ban 'exploitative' zero hours contracts.
Stephen Flynn, the Nationalist leader at Westminster, stepped up calls today for employment laws to be devolved to Holyrood to allow the Scottish Government to crack down on the use of "outdated" working practices. It comes as figures show that 109,000 of workers in Scotland are currently employed on zero hours contracts.
Flynn said: "Keir Starmer’s refusal to devolve employment laws to Holyrood betrays the needs of Scotland’s workers. "Currently, over 100,000 workers’ in Scotland are at the mercy of exploitative and outdated zero-hour contracts. Shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said: "While the SNP snipe from the sidelines, the next Labour government will ban exploitative zero hour contracts and end this scandal. This desperate and dishonest attack from Stephen Flynn is just the latest wheeze in the SNP’s campaign to keep the Tories in government.
