Bargaining news
Probation officers
UNISON members working for the National Probation Service and the 21 outsourced Community Rehabilitation Companies in England and Wales have voted in favour of industrial action over a zero per cent pay offer for 2014. Of those voting, 73% voted for strike action.
The employers “offer” consists of a non-consolidated lump sum ranging from £300 to £385 depending on pay band, but only for the 20% or so of staff at the top of their pay band and, therefore, not in receipt of a pay increment.
