OUTSOURCING giants like Carillion should never be allowed near a public-sector contract again, TSSA members said today.

Delegates at the transport union’s conference in Leicester unanimously passed a motion calling for the reversal of “the deregulation, privatisation and contracting out processes of the last 20 to 30 years” following Carillion’s demise.

And members warned similar disasters lay in wait unless contracts for public services were taken back in-house.
