At long last, the country's biggest union Unison, have at their 2009 conference decided to join with PCS against privitisation of public services.Crucially they have voted to suspend financial support to the Labour Party. This is, we believe, a necessary step towards building a truly effective campaign against further privitisation and attacks upon public sector pensions.
Furthermore, Unison revealed the results of a MORI poll that showed “over 73% of the public and 80% of public service workers say that private companies should not run our public services” and that “over 70% of public service workers now say they won’t vote Labour.”
