The powerful CFMEU Queensland union is using the Federal election period to start a political campaign called Steady Jobs. The aim of the campaign is to call on governments to legislate for better job security and against the increasing use of short term/casual employment contracts. This issue is something that unions in Australia have been focusing more in the last few years as precarious work arrangements continue to spread (see here and here). Insecure work has now become a feature of our global economy as a tool by companies to attack workers, in places as disparate as Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, China and India.
