Bring back probation service into public ownership
UNISON has backed a call for probation services in England and
Wales to be brought back into public ownership.
The
launch of a petition by campaign group We Own It comes shortly after a joint
letter on the issue from UNISON, GMB and probation officers’ union NAPO was
sent to justice secretary David Gauke.
That,
in turn, followed the collapse of one of the ‘community rehabilitation
companies’ which have took over probation services for ‘non-serious’ offenders
under former justice secretary Chris Grayling’s privatisation in 2015.
There’s
a petition to sign in favour of renationalisation. It can be signed after
following the link below.

Workers’ Memorial Day 2019
Workers'
Memorial Day is held on 28 April every year, all over the world workers and
their reps conduct events, demonstrations, vigils and a whole host of other
activities to mark the day.
The
theme for this year is “dangerous substances – get them out of the workplace”.
The focus will mainly be on carcinogens but you can adapt the theme to whatever
is most relevant in your workplace or area, as many substances can also cause
illnesses such as asthma or dermatitis.
