yes there are certainly a lot of casuals who work much more than they should. making themselves available when non req, but also sucking up to crewing.
unfortunately there are always gng to be people who will break the rules ie- working more than 6 days straight, doing duties that are just not legal!!!!!
people know who they are, and these people must remember that casuals are exactly the same as permanents, so stick to the rules!!!
you are just ruining it for yourselves, and other casuals for permanent employment
final note, i wouldnt hold your breathe re full time employment qf have a trick up their sleeve for casuals closer to the end of the year. if i was u i would be lookin for a 2nd job!
