Thank you @Kevin_Maguire pointing out the hypocrisy. Steve Gillan Gen Sec. edition.mirror.co.uk/2026/10…

POA National Chair Mark Fairhurst introduces the POA’s fringe event, on the Right to Strike campaign, at this year’s Labour Party Conference in Liverpool

Well I wouldn’t describe myself as a union baron but if it upsets the Daily Mail then it’s good news. I wonder if they would be complaining when the Chancellor meets business leaders. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

POA are standing in solidarity with our colleagues and friends in UCU. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

It’s good that the trade union movement have regular meetings with Ministers to influence outcomes and put our case forward. I was pleased to be there on behalf of POA. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

With @johnmcdonnellMP Honorary Life Member POA and @grahamemorris who always supports POA on all campaigns and in particular the right to strike.Steve Gillan Gen Sec

With the @POAnatchair and National Vice Chair at Downing Street after handing in our petition to the Prime Minister on the right to strike. Ironically the man that took the petition in was a POA member who used to work at Coldingley for 21 years. Our campaign will continue. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

The POA takes its campaign to reinstate the right to strike to downing street.

Tonight I was part of a delegation from TUC that met with the Chancellor at 11 Downing Street to raise a variety of issues prior to the budget. I could never imagine this being facilitated by the previous Government. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

The POA builds support for its' 'Right to Strike' campaign at the 2026 TUC Conference in Brighton

Year on Year the POA comply with deadlines set for written evidence to the PSPRB and year on year @hmpps are late ignoring those deadlines that are set. We also understand Government are holding up the submission as well for all PSPRBs. Totally unacceptable. If they cannot get the basics correct how can we have confidence in them getting anything right. I bet if we were late with our written submissions deadlines would not be extended for trade unions. Time to get your fingers out and deal with this issue. Not good enough. Steve Gillan Gen Sec.
