Tory cuts gut thousands of Welsh local authority jobs, an ‘austerity audit’ shows
From Morning Star: Tens of thousands of Welsh local authority jobs have been thrown on the scrapheap thanks to Westminster government cuts by the Tories, an “audit of austerity” shows.
The Unison Cymru Wales analysis found that since 2010 there have been cuts to 28,100 council jobs, 10 per cent of the Welsh workforce, in the country.
Key findings in the audit were that more than 500 jobs have gone in 19 of the 22 councils in Wales.
Women were found to be more adversely affected than men, with women losing 18,400 of the cut jobs.
