2016 Library Workers’ Conference

Thank you for showing interest in the material that we’ve gathered from the Library Workers’ Conference last March. Here’s the slides that were presented during the conference: Library Conference 2016 Presentation Final Slides

The studies that were conducted with regards to precarious work can be found in its entirety on the PEPSO website. PEPSO is the acronym for Poverty and Employment Precarity in Southern Ontario research group which is a joint university-community initiative that is focused on how precarious employment compounds the issue of poverty. PEPSO’s research has also shown that insecure employment and low pay has effects on the individual’s well being and ability to establish meaningful personal relationships.

Again, thank you for your interest.
