Police Unions React to Chief's Announcements on Force Changes

PASYDY and SEK express strong dissatisfaction with the public announcements of the Chief of Police regarding changes to the terms of employment of the Police Force, considering that labor institutions are being violated and the importance of agreed terms is being underestimated. Despite their reaction, they state their willingness to participate in the institutional social dialogue and to discuss the issue in good faith. The issue of the reorganization of the Police Force will be discussed in the Legal Committee of the Parliament next Wednesday. The two organizations warn that, if the dialogue does not yield results and the rights of their members are not secured, they will reconsider their position and examine the taking of retaliatory measures, always responsibly.
