Casual Work
The YCW is representing young workers through its report produced in 2001, "Don't Bother Coming In Today: Casual Work,
Casual Nature" which interviewed over 1400 young casual worker and identified some of the pitfalls of being employed on a
casual basis.
We also made a submission as part of the Secure Employment Test Case, which was successful in the NSW Industrial Relations
Commission to give casual workers the option of electing to be employed permanently after six months of employment.
