Probation workers need improved pay and conditions as they tackle the fallout from the overcrowding crisis, GMB has told the new Justice Secretary.
GMB met with Shabana Mahmood, the new Secretary of State for Justice this week to discuss the needs of probation workers.
George Georgiou, GMB National Officer, said:
“GMB is clear: probation workers need better pay and conditions.
“This need is magnified as they deal with the overcrowding chaos – another toxic legacy of the Tory Government.
"The Justice Secretary was very receptive and seems to grasp things have got to change if we want a prison service that’s fit for purpose.”
