STW Unison health branch

02/09/2026

Last night, outsourced workers, activists and trade unionists came together to send a clear message: the age of outsourcing is over.

Every year, corporate outsourcing giants make billions from public contracts while leaving services and the people who provide them worse off.

UNISON and the RMT are saying this must stop. Public services should be run for people, not profit, and every worker deserves decent pay and conditions.

A big thank you to Sjaan Heemskerk, Co-Chair of the National Private Contractors Forum, for Chairing the event

It’s time for the Government to make good on its promises.



The campaign starts here.
