Carillion collapse: reverse privatisation!
Following giant construction and services firm Carillion’s collapse:
We call for the next Labour government to definitively stop and reverse privatisation and outsourcing and to nationalise the big public sector contracors, eg G4S, Serco, Capita. Meanwhile we call for, and call on our party to campaign for:
• All Carillion’s contracts to be taken permanently back into the public sector, and the government to provide councils and other affected public bodies with adequate funding to make this possible with no cuts to services.
• No job losses, pension or other cuts, an end to casualisation and low-pay, much better terms and conditions, and the replacement of autocratic management with democratic control by workers and public authorities.
