Let?s stop the rip off of casuals!

UNITE is the new campaign fighting for the rights of casual workers, starting with the shopping strip along Brunswick St. Fitzroy.

Australia has the second highest rate of casualisation in the world with over a quarter of our workforce being casual workers. Casuals don?t receive basic entitlements like sick leave, holiday pay, leave loading, or redundancy pay.
Bosses have the luxury of hiring and firing at random, often keeping someone on as a ‘trial’ for a short period then terminating them to employ someone else that can be given the same treatment.

There is no notice requirements for casual workers, they can be terminated at any time. Applications for loans and credit cards will more often than not be turned down, as casual workers are not seen by banks as being able to keep up regular payments. With the current terms of casual work, they are probably right.

Casual work is bad enough without dodgy bosses ripping them off even more. So we are asking employers if they:



1) Comply with basic occupational health & safety laws (1985 Act)

2) Have equal pay for equal work

3) Provide pay slips and a clear breakdown of casual loading

4) Have no ?free trial work?

5) Don?t victimise workers wanting to join a union

6) Adhere to anti-discrimination laws



Those bosses who do the right thing will get a sticker to display on their business. Let?s see what bosses refuse to meet the most basic legal requirements for their workers.
If you have information on a dodgy boss - don?t let him/her get away with it! Let us know (anonymously if you wish). But we urge everyone to get involved with UNITE in the struggle against dodgy bosses!

To dob in a boss, to get more information on your rights or to help fight the problem by participating in our campaign, contact UNITE on 93281555.
