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.”
