The Precariat Grows: Laborās Toothless Reforms Canāt Stop the Casualisation Juggernaut Despite world-leading reforms, half of Australian workers remain trapped in insecure employment while the young bear the brunt The numbers donāt lie, even when the politicians do. Australiaās precariat; that swelling army of the insecurely employed, the casually contracted, the perpetually anxious, continuesā¦

Worker solidarity is more important now than it has ever been.
This is one of the most important consequences of the restructuring of the labour process superintended by the logistics revolution: the casualisation and irregularisation of labour, the disaggregation of the work process into increasingly illegible and geographically separate component parts, as well as the incredible powers which capital now has to defeat any struggle for better conditions, mean that it is not only impossible for most proletarians to visualise their place within this complex system but it is also impossible for them to identify with that place as a source of dignity and satisfaction, since its ultimate meaning with regard to the total system remains elusive. Most workers today cannot say, as workers of old could (and often did): It is we who built this world! It is we to whom this world belongs! The restructuring of the mode of production and the subordination of production to the conditions of circulation therefore forecloses the classical horizon of proletarian antagonism: seizure of the means of production for the purposes of a worker-managed society. One cannot imagine seizing that which one cannot visualise, and inside of which oneās place remains uncertain.

In between the fishing crewsā naps early afternoon, it was common to see local āboysā hovering dock-side looking for casual work on the trawlers overnight.

Australian labour market
Inequality is at 70 year highs. Wages growth is at record lows. We have the highest level of temporary work in the OECD. 40% of workforce are in insecure work.
When I am feeling like I'm not enough, like today, I remember playing roller derby. I only competed for a year, but the whole two years of training, and then the following year of team coaching, really helped rebuild my confidence and sense of power. Roller derby made me strong inside and out. I take that with me everywhere now.
Being on the fringes of the academy is tough. I once had a permanent, well-paid position. Before being made redundant in a round of 200 job losses. Of course the jobs still exist. They're just casual and temporary now. And I have no doubt that one reason I was targeted - and I was - was because I unionised the learning technology services area and campaigned successfully to get 12 jobs converted from casual to permanent. I don't regret that even with losing my own job. One of the staff members cried because she could finally visit her family in India on paid holiday leave, after three years of working there. We turned things around, once, briefly.
Only realised that I had worn my tshirt inside out when I removed my hoodie in class. This is not how I feel towards the students, but how I feel about the expectations of self-surveillance and āprofessionalismā placed on the exploited bodies labouring under a system that is failing so spectacularly: IDGAF

Iāve been casually employed in higher ed teaching for ten years. I teach at a university and a pathway college to the university. I am totally over this arrangement and am developing an exit strategy out of academia, or at least not be fully dependent on it. But Iāve surprisingly come to appreciate the gig at the pathway college, because Iām in new a situation where I deal with a majority of POC international students who are documented as second language speakers of English.
