Public money should fund public services, not private profits.
Proud to stand alongside @insourcenowgb in the fight to bring services back in-house.
Public services in public hands. ✊

Outsourced rail workers on TransPennine to strike over low pay
RAIL union RMT announced strike action for next Friday November 13 by outsourced workers on the TransPennine Express (TPE) contract who work for Bidvest Noonan and Rail Gourmet.
The publicly owned operator is set to become part of Great British Railways but its outsourced cleaning and catering workers continue to suffer low pay and inferior employment conditions.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said that these low paid workers were denied proper sick pay and pensions while their wages were held down by contractors seeking to maximise profit margins.
“While train operating companies return to public hands, thousands of the workers who keep the railway running remain employed by private outsourcing corporations whose business models depend on driving down wages, cutting employment costs and extracting profits,” he said.
Thanks to @AndyMcDonaldMP for raising insourcing at Transport Questions and it was good to hear Transport Secretary @Heidi_Labour confirm that she will be looking at insourcing where it can drive better outcomes for passengers and value for money.

Every year, £6 BILLION leaves our public services in profits for outsourcing giants.
That would pay for:
🏫 2 years of free school meals
👵 300,000 adult social care workers
🏠 30,000 council houses a year
🏥 200,000 nurses for the NHS
It’s time to Insource Now! #Budget2026

Every year, £6 BILLION is taken out of our public services in outsourcing profits.
That's money for NHS nurses, care workers, free school meals and council homes.
It's time for @andyburnham and the Government to end the outsourcing scam.

@unisontheunion members are in Westminster today to tell the government it's time to show up for public service workers, just as they show up for the nation every day!

📹 "@andyburnham, how can you justify this?"
Transport Secretary @Heidi_Labour says she wants a railway that's an employer of choice.
Does that include the outsourced workers at @LNER ?
Or are they expected to survive on £12.71 an hour?

More PCS members affected by the Capita pension crisis tell us why their scheme should be taken back in-house, to be serviced by civil servants. PCS continues to regularly meet with representatives of the Cabinet Office to address this crisis and pressure govt into fulfilling its promised biggest wave of insourcing in a generation. https://t.co/7rED9GsslX
Outsourced. Watched. Not consulted.

The government is increasingly realising how damaging outsourcing has been, says PCS GS Fran Heathcote in an article for @CSWnews
She says that there are hundreds of contracts where outsourced workers are getting a raw deal. Insourcing is the way forward https://t.co/ocjZHng7d9
