Most employers don't have that intention, although there have been some who have exploited people, it's true.

Zero hour contracts, formerly known as 'casual contracts' are there to provide flexibility both to employers and employees. Some employees like this flexibility - contracts with rigid hours would not suit them.

Frankly, if you are looking for full time employment, zero hour contracts are not what you should be looking for. If you are a student looking for some extra money during the holidays with flexible hours so you can still have plenty of time to socialise, these contracts are perfect.
