No
Given the SSP's strong advocacy for workers' rights and its socialist principles, it is highly likely that the party would support the abolition of zero-hour contracts. The SSP has consistently campaigned for improved labor rights, including secure employment, fair wages, and better working conditions, viewing zero-hour contracts as antithetical to these goals.

Disagree
Yes, but ban exclusivity clauses and guarantee a minimum number of hours

The party's preference for secure employment and its opposition to precarious work conditions suggest a fundamental opposition to zero-hour contracts, even with these modifications.

Strongly disagree
Yes, but only for those seeking part time instead of permanent employment
Although this answer attempts to limit the use of zero-hour contracts to those seeking part-time work, it is still likely to be largely opposed by the SSP. The party's commitment to secure and fair employment would lead it to advocate for more stable and predictable employment contracts, even for part-time workers, rather than endorsing zero-hour contracts under any circumstances.

Very strongly disagree
Yes
The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically positioned itself against precarious employment practices, advocating for secure and fair work conditions for all. Zero-hour contracts, which do not guarantee minimum hours of work, are seen as exploitative and insecure by the SSP, aligning with their broader socialist and worker rights agenda.
