Abstract:

Nowadays, ‘flexibility’, in fact, seems like a magical word for corporations and governments. Corporations use it to protect themselves against market fluctuations and governments use it as a solution for fundamental problems such as unemployment. Thus, most of flexible employment forms have being used and this employment forms have been spread across to so many parts of the world for last several decades. So that, corporations have a workforce that they can dismiss easily in crises periods and governments have low unemployment figures because of such precarious jobs. Yet, the whole of this picture means precarity in work life for workers. This paper introduces a quite new form of flexible employment (zero-hours contracts) and tries to discuss its mean for workers. Yet, comparing with other flexible forms that new kind of flexible employment means a further precarity for employees
