McDonald’s UK boss says staffers ‘love zero-hour contracts’

‘McDonald’s UK’s new boss has defended zero-hour contracts, claiming his staff are in favor of their use because they “love the flexibility.”

The fast food chain’s UK Chief Executive Paul Pomroy said his employees are notified of shifts two weeks in advance.

“We allow our employees to work elsewhere and we have a very good system of feedback from our employees,” he told the BBC on Wednesday.

“Having surveyed our employees, they still love the flexibility.” Some 92 percent of their staff said they are happy with the contracts.’
