Fed: Labor plan to convert long-term casuals to permanent jobs=2

The ACTU has welcomed the announcement, saying it will give about 1.3 million long-term
casuals the ability to convert to permanent employment and gain basic job entitlements.

ACTU president SHARAN BURROW says Labor's plan is a major initiative that will help
fix the collapse in job security that has been caused by the casualisation of Australia's
workforce in recent years.
