Probation workers’ strike on 11 June

Unison members working in probation in England and Wales will take strike action for 24 hours on Thursday 11 June, because of the employers’ failure to improve a zero per cent pay offer for 2014.

This will be followed by five weeks of action ‘short of strike action’ from Friday 12 June.

73% of the Unison members voted yes for industrial action and 88% for action ‘short of strike’.

10.6.15 update: The action has now been suspended
