It's not about temporary or not, it's about expectations. People were recruited expecting two weeks work but then got two days. The suppliers of toilets to the festival will have a had a contract that means they get paid if the toilets are full or empty, seems only decent to treat the litter pickers the same way.

Expectations ? - bit naive then.
e.g. if you 'expect' two weeks fruit picking and due to the weather the harvest fails then what ?
Blame it on the charity volunteers .
Like it or not they were on zero hours not a two week contract.
