Union Attacks Business Sharks

The BBC report:

Unions have attacked ministers over a review which calls for more public services to be run by private firms. The public sector union Unison claimed that the committee which conducted the review was biased towards big business. Unison General Secretary Dave Prentis said the panel's members were "sharks circling the private sector". The investigation led by Deanne Julius, an ex-director of a firm which runs private prisons, said more outsourcing would save taxpayers money...Mr Prentis argued that the unions were snubbed by being omitted from the original enquiry panel selected by business secretary John Hutton. Instead, Mr Prentis said, membership was top-heavy with the representatives from the very companies who would profit from future contracts.

Britain's neoliberalism has forced the worst business practices on the economy. The use of the public-private alliances have, given the profiteering motive, continued to deliver principal-agent problems. When will they learn?
