The indicative ballot on the above pay offer closed at Noon today.
75.2% of Napo members have voted to accept the offer, with 24.8% of Napo members voting to reject it. The overall turnout was 84.01%.
We have been informed that both UNISON and GMB/SCOOP members have also accepted this pay offer.
HMPPS has been advised of these ballot results. They continue to indicate that any backpay owed will be paid to staff in May's payroll run.
Napo's Probation Negotiating Committee will meet next week to review our position in respect of the current workloads dispute, including considering all available options open to us, and have further discussions on our pay claim agenda for 2026-2027. More news on these vital issues will follow when available.
Meanwhile, we would like to thank all those Napo members who have engaged in such impressive numbers, by voting as well as organising and taking part in all-member or Branch meetings, with the ballots which have been held in relation to this pay offer.
