POA Circular 23/2026 was promulgated on 23rd March 2026 as part of our ongoing Campaign to have our Right to Strike Reinstated and explained that the POA would be distributing pre-printed postcards to all our members. The postcards contain a message to the Prime Minister urging him to Reinstate our Right to Strike.
These postcards are addressed to the Prime Minister and will play a vital part in demonstrating our strength and unity on this issue.
What you need to do:
Complete your personal details on the postcard,
Sign where indicated,
Return the postcard to Cronin House via your local Branch.
What happens next:
The POA will collect all completed postcards and deliver them directly to Downing Street on behalf of members.
This is a simple but powerful action. By taking part, you are helping to send a clear and united message that Prison Officers must have their Right to Strike Restored.
Your participation matters.
To date there has been a very limited response and Cronin House has received very few responses.
Please complete and return your postcard as soon as possible.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Yours sincerely
