The Manitoba government says its plan to temporarily cut non-essential jobs in some areas by up to one-third will work out to a much smaller number — 2.2 per cent — overall.
Last month, the government said it wanted public-sector workers who were not on the front lines of health care and other services to accept reduced work weeks, job-sharing or temporary layoffs to free up money for the fight against COVID-19.
The Progressive Conservative government asked universities, Crown corporations and some other agencies to map out three scenarios for temporary job cuts — 10, 20 and 30 per cent.
