Please elaborate.

What force is used?

It's up to an employee to accept a job or decline the offer.

What exactly are you talking about? Examples?

Ahhhhh, looking at your avatar I think I understand now.

You're talking about Centrelink.

If someone on the dole is offered a casual job they must take it or lose their benefits. But you're saying that casual jobs don't offer any security (as there is no guarantee of hours).

I see where you're coming from now. However, if the employer doesn't offer any hours, surely Centrelink will make a payment (?) Or am I wrong? I haven't been on the dole, so I'm not sure how it works.

Thats not the point, the point is the Government is forcing people into casual work against their will and denying them secure stable employment. Cool

Yep, I see your point.

The more I think about it the more I agree with you.

Nobody should be forced to do casual labour for the government. Cool
