FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Casual workers should be given annual leave while bosses should be banned from keeping workers in unstable work long-term, an ACTU report recommends.
Former deputy prime minister Brian Howe is launching his report into insecure work in Sydney on Wednesday, which estimates that 40 per cent of Australians are trapped in unstable jobs.
It recommends that casual work only be allowed in situations where work is irregular or short-term, and that employers be banned from creating temporary jobs where there are “reasonable grounds” to expect the work will continue.
Casual workers should also be given access to annual leave while labour hire firms should be part of a licensing system and be treated as employers, the report says.
National employment standards also need to be strengthened to protect the most vulnerable workers.
In the report, Mr Howe said many casual workers often juggled multiple jobs, had low or outdated skills and had trouble saving.
“For them, flexibility is not knowing when and where they will work, facing the risk of being laid off with no warning, and being required to fit family responsibilities around unpredictable periods of work,” he said.
“Although 40 per cent of Australians are in insecure work, this is a development that has avoided proper examination and scrutiny for too long.”
