About the campaign
Public Services Not Private Profit is a joint union campaign launched in March 2006 to defend public services against privatisation and stand up for the rights of public sector workers.
The campaign has the support of 14 national trade unions, several campaigning organisations and dozens of MPs.
Our campaign has led the fight to defend our public services. In June 2006, we organised a mass lobby and rally of Parliament that was attended by over 2,000 trade union delegates - the biggest lobby against privatisation in history. Since then, we have organised numerous local rallies, meetings, debate and fringe events which have been addressed by MPs, trade union leaders and prominent campaigners. Our aim is to put the struggle against privatisation firmly on the political agenda.
