NIACRO To Axe 50 Jobs
NIACRO has announced it is to axe 50 jobs.
Trade Union NIPSA said this will cut over half of the workforce.
The job cuts were announced after the company was unsuccessful in its bid for European Social Fund (ESF) money.
NIPSA has been working with management over the past few weeks to seek to reduce the impact on staff and the most vulnerable in society.
Tommy Brownlee, NIPSA Official said: "The staff have been on protective redundancy notice since Christmas and yesterday their last hope was extinguished. Our members are devastated at this development and the consequences to their clients. NIPSA have seen figures that show when NIACRO works with prisoners on release reoffending rates drop from over 50% to less than 25%. NIPSA will be lobbying MLA’s and government departments to try and reverse this decision even at this late stage."
