Parliamentary campaigner for trade unions in the criminal justice sector
Charley Allan administrates the Justice Unions Parliamentary Group, organising campaigns for better pay, terms and conditions for workers in prisons, probation, courts and the police, and for insourcing vital public services such as prison education and maintenance. He works closely with Lord Tony Woodley, Lady Claire Fox and other parliamentarians to end the shameful injustice of legacy IPP sentences and Joint Enterprise over-convictions. He was previously a staff journalist at the Morning Star, for which he still writes (sometimes under his own name) about criminal justice matters.
