- Decision
- Carried
When it comes to low pay, the Private Sector Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) have put the Civil Service to shame.
The vast majority of CRCs have abolished Band 1.
They have got rid of a pay scale that would have paid staff less than the minimum wage.
The National Probation Service (NPS) on the other hand have not got rid of pay Band 1 and continue to insult staff with this derisive payment.
The recent announcements within the Probation Service could see hard working staff, staff who have campaigned against low pay, and won, being re-banded into a scale that they thought was extinct.
No one who works for the Probation Service should be on Band 1.
Enough is Enough.
Conference calls upon the Service Group Executive (SGE) to work with the relevant bodies to seek to negotiate an end to Pay Band 1 within the NPS and any remaining CRC pay scales.
