Fill in the blanks with appropriate words:
Under a zero-hour contract, a party described as a' casual worker' has a contract with an employer, but the contract may be of little benefit as its provisions do not (1) ________ any obligation upon the employer to offer work, and similarly, there is no obligation for the worker to accept it. A 'casual worker, is the correct term to define workers who do not have (2) ________ hours of work but instead supply services on an irregular, flexible basis when the employer needs them.

The use of zero-hour contracts is extremely popular in the food and retail (8)________ of the Eurona economy. For example, McDonald's and Burger King have recently disclosed that they use this type of contract for over 80% of their workers in the Eurona and another high-street giant, Sports Direct, has admitted that 90% of its workers are under this type of contract. However, the latter (9) _____ a legal challenge in November 2016 when Tera Phera filed a claim against the company in a Eurona Employment Tribunal. Tera Phera claimed that although she was contracted as a casual worker for Sports Direct, she had the same responsibilities and duties as an employee but without receiving the benefits of an employee. A (10) _____was reached according to which Sports Direct is now required at the time of advertising for future zero-hours staff to expressly state that the role does not (11) _____ work.
