Contracting should only take place with local providers. It can not be to the detriment of the Union workers, ever. I am ok with PPP in some scenarios, again not at the expense of Union workers.
I know of instances where our city is using contractors for public works, because of the poisonous work environment with some of the managers, it says a lot when city employees are not taking overtime and letting go of financial security because they can't deal with the management.
