Prison officers threaten illegal strike against public sector cuts

Prison officers threaten illegal strike against public sector cuts

Prison officers are threatening to break the law and go on strike against proposed public sector cuts.



Steve Gillan, leader of the Prison Officers’ Association, said his members were prepared to strike – even though they are not allowed to by law.

He told a fringe meeting at the Trades Union Congress: “If they are going to kick us to death we will take action irrespective of the legislation.


If they carry out their threat, it might be a good thing to get rid of them all and train some new blood to do a better job?
