We are left with less of the fruits of our labour as the quality of work deteriorates and pay and conditions fail to keep pace with inflation. The NHS and the public services we need are barely fit for purpose due to decades of cuts and privatisation and they are staffed by workers who are horribly mistreated as the executives and politicians cash in.
Privatisation, wherever it is happening in the public sector, is an unrestrained racket that the ruling class are allowing to proliferate even though it is breaking the services we need and leading to the exploitation of workers.
