    What are your son's views on this situation?

    If it were my child I'd be encouraging them to use their time off to seriously look for a more reliable employer. His current employer is hardly encouraging a constant work ethic.

    is this the son who works in a resturant?

    I would of thought at this time of year there would be lots of work for him.

    I think for him to leave, despite the lack of jobs is sensible (if this is the same son)

    He's been messed around so much, wasted money on buses etc
    fingers crossed there is something he finds.

    Your son needs to ring his boss & ask him when he will be working his 10 hours.

    Is there a pub that’s within walking distance?! While it maybe that there aren’t any shifts for in the week, they may need a glass collector or barman for the weekends plus then he wont have to pay out extra for bus fare

    When he was told that he had no hours next week, didn't he raise this issue politely with his manager?
