Are zero-hour contracts the new kind of accepted slavery?

Now I'm not sure what the situation is like outside of the UK, but here it seems to be so as trade unions had and are being further weakened with zero-hours specifically excluded from any benefits anyone else might have, in addition to which it's barely minimum wage and include some of the most menial and sometimes dangerous - this example of an ass of a supervisor in that feature would even fire anyone who disagrees with the simple premise that if a hotel chain outsources its laundry with a 50% reject rate then the cleaners inside can't possibly be held responsible, but who cares for logic as long as we have a race to the bottom... well, as logical as some in the states thinking this could be fixed by a, obviously, billionaire.
