CPSU-SPSF Federal Secretary David Carey welcomed the Australian Council of Trade Union’s involvment in the Independent Inquiry into Insecure Work, stating:

“Many workers who once delivered what are generally considered to be public services in secure jobs, now find themselves in the employ of private contractors, often funded by government money. Through this process many workers have lost benefits that were often associated with public sector employment and many of these workers are on short term, insecure contracts with less than full time hours.”
