This pamphlet, It’s time to take over the banks, makes the case for a publicly owned finance industry that provides a public service, giving financial support to industry and working people.

The Fire Brigades Union has produced this pamphlet as a contribution to the debate on the economy.
It arises out of the motion on the issue, which the FBU successfully moved at the Trades Union Congress 2012. We were very pleased that this was the first time that such a motion has been carried at the TUC.
