Carillion: time for government to act, says TUC

Responding to concerns about the future of construction and outsourcing firm Carillion, TUC Deputy General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

"Tens of thousands of jobs are now at risk, along with vital public services and major infrastructure projects across the country.

"Workers, taxpayers and public service users could well be left to carry the can. Carillion is a textbook example of the failures of privatisation and outsourcing.

"The government needs to step in, guarantee jobs and services, and explain how they let this mess happen in the first place.”
