The ACTU conference will spend its second day focusing on the lack of job security in Australia.
ACTU president Ged Kearney said the congress looked forward to officially receiving an independent report on insecure work when it resumes in Sydney on Wednesday.
The report, Lives on Hold: Unlocking the potential of Australia’s workforce, is the result of a six-month national inquiry, chaired by former deputy prime minister Brian Howe.
It analyses the extent of the problem affecting 40 per cent of the workforce and sets out possible solutions, Ms Kearney said.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard promised delegates that she will work to restore faith in the crisis-riven trade union movement.
