‘Working till 67, hoping for the best’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The shift can be cancelled two minutes before it starts. That is the arithmetic Antony* has lived on for a decade as a casual community-sector support worker, transporting and supervising children in care, some days a 150-kilometre round trip. “If my shift gets cancelled, I don’t get paid,” the 59-year-old says. “And that can be anywhere up to two minutes before I start.” Three shifts one week brings in about $400, exactly his weekly mortgage payment and nothing else.
