Hi all,
It is with great interest that I read this thread. I am surprised that the majority of the opinions about privatisation is focussed on working conditions instead of safety. I am not saying that working conditions are not important but IMHO privatisation can be a bad idea for safety in many ways and isn't that more important?
Don't forget, if you're not happy with what you do you can always pull the plug and go and do someting different.
