AFSCME 8: Private contracting

Do you support or oppose the privatization or contracting out of services currently provided by state and local government employees?


There are some services that should obviously be contracted out (i.e. utilities) and other services that obviously shouldn't be contracted out (i.e law enforcement). For the rest, there are many factors to consider including: Number of employees involved, historical effectiveness of the employees and potential contractors, privacy, service hours, contractor oversight, ease of reversing the decision, and many other things. These decisions can't be made lightly.
