Napo members in Probation NI turned out in impressive numbers recently at a special Branch meeting to consider the highly unsatisfactory situation where formal negotiations on pay for 2019-20 have yet to begin.
Napo General Secretary Ian Lawrence, Link National Officer Keith Stokeld and National Official Annoesjka Valent also provided support around issues which included workloads and Napo’s recruitment and organisation strategy.
More news on pay will follow once negotiations get underway but there can be no doubt about the strength of feeling among members, and the growing sense that unless tangible progress is made soon then both Napo and our sister union NIPSA will have no option but to consult members about the possibility of Industrial action.
