The Oregon Zoo and METRO uses the term "Temp" one anyone they can in order to skirt basic obligations both to the employee and to the public.

There are folks at the Zoo who have been working there for over a decade and still called "temporary" employees. The zoo is open 364 days a year with some seasons with more staff needed than others but they always have to have a basic number of people to offer basic services and these people are not "temps" in any true sense of the term.

The health of those serving you is tied directly to your health and that of your family.
