RMT Press Office:
RMT demands that outsourcing investigation be extended as spotlight shifts to Interserve
General Secretary Mick Cash said:
"Reports this morning that Interserve, another massive outsourcing outfit where RMT has members, are now coming under scrutiny is no surprise.
"We warned that the chaotic collapse of Carillion could spark off a domino effect amongst these high risk businesses and we stand by that.
"The forensic investigation we have been promised into Carillion needs to be extended in scope to include the whole murky world of outsourcing, franchising and privatisation.
"It also needs to include those politicians who have promoted and encouraged the pillaging of our public services by these get-rich-quick merchants despite repeated warnings from the trade unions.
"Anyone with their dabs on this growing scandal must be sent the clear message that there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.".
