Novus strike ballot opens
19 March 2021
A ballot for industrial action has opened at Novus over Covid-19 health and safety concerns.
The row centres on Novus's failure to meaningfully engage with Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø over Covid health and safety concerns and on-site provision. Novus has refused to drop complaints and investigations against staff who have raised safety concerns. As these staff are Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø's health and safety representatives, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø believes it is impossible for the employer to meaningfully engage in health and safety discussions until this intimidation stops.
If Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø members back strike action, educators at 49 prisons and young offender institutions in England and Wales will walk out.
Tha ballot will close on Friday 9 April.
Find further information, including words of support from the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø general secretary, here.
