Abstract

I have spent 25 years researching flexible (or precarious, depending on your perspective) forms of work. Indeed, my PhD was on the uses of part-time and casual workers in hospitals in Australia. For the most part my perspective has been that such forms of work have been used by employers because of gaps in the regulatory framework that enabled them to do so.
