Every year, £6 BILLION leaves our public services in profits for outsourcing giants.
That would pay for:
🏫 2 years of free school meals
👵 300,000 adult social care workers
🏠 30,000 council houses a year
🏥 200,000 nurses for the NHS
It’s time to Insource Now! #Budget2026

📢✊ Recognition alone isn't enough. Our public services need investment.
At our #WeShowUp statue unveiling in Westminster, UNISON president James Anthony and head of nursing Louie Horne set out what workers need from the Budget.
Our public services need a bailout.
UNISON North West retweeted
In tomorrow’s budget we need a public service bailout. Paid for by taxing big corporations, banks and the super rich
🏥 Investment in public services
💷 Fair pay
✊ Bring services in-house
The government must show up for public services.

'You cannot speak about dignity for the people receiving care while ignoring dignity for the people providing it.'
Our message is clear: there is no care service without freedom for migrant workers. The government must act now to break the chains. #FairVisasNow
