“Precarious Employment” and Industrial Relations in Australia
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses “precarious employment” in Australia and how it has served as a means through which industrial relations have been reshaped and re-defined. Such employment can be defined as labor that is of limited duration, pays low wages, and offers few or no opportunities for employee input in policies or procedures. It ultimately subverts the concept of work as a means of personal betterment. Precariousness has permeated both standard and non-standard forms of employment in Australia, resulting in significant increases in socio-economic deprivation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
