2008-03-28 19:36:09 - Ealing Council: Putting Public Services at Risk- The record of the Conservative administration 1990-94
-
Between 1990 and 1994, Ealing council under conservative control undertook an aggressive strategy of commercialising its public services, taking privatisation and commercialisation to extreme lengths and leaving a lasting legacy of unemployment, low levels of service provision and accountability, and a huge budget deficit. This report documents the devastating nature of such policies, and offers a textbook example of the risks of privatisation and externalisation of public services. Written and researched by Centre for Public Services for Ealing Unison (1994).

2008-03-28 19:26:53 - Why Privatizing Government Services Would Hurt Women Workers By Annette Bernhardt and Laura Dresser, Institute for Women's Policy Research, Washington DC.
-
This report analyzes the implications of privatization for women workers, especially those employed in low-end occupations. Data analyzed show that women disproportionately depend on the public sector for jobs that pay decent wages and offer benefits. This is especially true for African American and Hispanic women, and for women who do not have a college education. In part, higher wages and better access to health and pension benefits in the public sector can be attributed to higher rates of union coverage. The evidence suggests that privatizing government services will have a negative impact on women workers, especially those workers who are most vulnerable.
