The Guardian is reporting that outsourcing companies have seen their shares fall back. Capita is leading the FTSE 100 losers, down 35p to 781.5p, while Serco has slid 17.5p to 611p. "The public sector unions possibly see themselves as a 'winner' from this (election) result with increased bargaining power against 'weak government'", says the article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/marketforceslive/2010/may/07/capitagroup-sercogroup
