The month is celebrated when I have worked enough hours. Each month I am in a constant state of worry as to whether I’ve been given enough hours to not be answerable or at mercy to the DWP. Each month’s earnings fluctuate working on a zero hours contract. The government’s reasoning is that they are helping. This is not help, being answerable is punishment for earning a low wage, this is punishment for the lack of power and choice.
