GFTU BGCM 2019 MOTION 9

NAPO (4)

The Trade Union, Professional Association and campaigning organisation for Probation and Family Court staff

We demand Pay unity in Probation.

This BGCM applauds the work of Napo and its sister unions in Probation for securing a ground breaking pay modernisation award for its members employed by the National Probation Service (NPS). Unfortunately, the Government is refusing to adjust the current 21 Community Rehabilitation Contracts meaning that the remuneration of their employees, who are undertaking work of equal value, is inferior to that of their NPS counterparts. This is a scandalous situation compounded by the fact that the taxpayer has funded hundreds of millions of pounds in bail outs to failing CRC contractors who refuse to implement harmonisation of pay for their workforce. The Executive Committee is instructed to offer all support possible for the #Pay Unity campaign established by Napo, and to use its contacts within Parliament to ensure that this issue is kept firmly on the political agenda.
