Police Union Demands Millions in Back Pay Over Shift Allowance Calculation

The ISOTITA union has submitted a letter of protest to the Chief of Police, also sending it to other relevant authorities, regarding the calculation of shift allowances for police officers working a shift system. The union argues that the current calculation method, "one hour for one hour," is unfair compared to the Public Service, where overtime is calculated with an increased rate. They are demanding retroactive compensation for their members, estimating the amount to be in the millions of euros. The union is requesting an urgent meeting with the Chief to discuss the issue and reserves the right to take legal action if their demands are not met.
