Members of the probation officer’s  union NAPO took strike action today and yesterday against privatisaton. There was a strong and lively picket on both days in Coventry, with motorists expressing support by beeping their horns and members of the public taking away leaflets explaining the union’s case.

Privatisation would be an absolute disaster for the workers in the service and the entire justice system. Companies are only interested in making profit, not caring about the well being of individuals or society.

The strike was well supported around the country, click this link for more reports.

Workers in the probation service in Coventry have staged a protest against the privatisation of this vital public service. Members of NAPO, Unison and GMB organised the lunch time action last Thursday in Coventry. This was part of a national day of action which saw similar protests across the country. Dave Nellist attended to bring the support of the Socialist Party – also raising the issue that evening at a meeting of Coventry TUC.
