    Public Service in Tough Times

    Working Under Austerity in Manitoba

    Jesse Hajer (Editor), Ian Hudson (Editor), Jennifer Keith (Editor)

    Using survey data from thousands of public sector workers, carefully compiled statistics on spending and staffing, and a participatory action research methodology, the contributors to this book demonstrate how Pallister’s Progressive Conservative government from 2016 to 2023 cut government expenditures disproportionately – slashing health care and housing funding, freezing wages, and eliminating jobs – to benefit the wealthy and exacerbate poverty and inequality.
