Focuses on nursing in the context of a broader analysis of flexible labour markets, with a focus on part‐time and casual work, which thousands of nurses in Canada have been forced into through health care restructure. Discusses the subject in great detail and concludes employers lost control of their own strategy with regard to the restructure of employment for their staff.
