Privatization Watch
Privatization Watch is a monthly bulletin tracking the latest news about P3s, contracting out and other attacks on public services. The bulletin also profiles public alternatives to privatization.
Privatization Watch relies on the eyes and ears of CUPE members and staff in communities - whether it's recognizing the early warning signs of privatization, or exposing the flaws in a P3 that's underway. Let us know what's happening in your local, your community and your workplace. Send your tips and leads to p3alert@cupe.ca. To subscribe, go to http://lists.cupe.ca/privatizationwatch.
