Public Services Not Private Profit is a joint union campaign launched in March 2006 to defend public services against privatisation.

Since 1997, New Labour has continued the Tories� drive to privatise our public service. Outsourcing, the Private Finance Initiative and other forms of privatisation are threatened in education, health, the justice system, the civil service, postal services, transport, council housing, the provision of youth services, fire services and broadcasting.

Billions of pounds of public funds are being wasted boosting the profits of private companies who are downgrading services and slashing conditions and jobs for public sector workers. This increased trend towards privatisation puts at risk the accountable and effective delivery of public services.
