National Police Union requests urgent meeting with the Finance Minister

The Sinapol police union has set a deadline of September 8 for a response from the Ministry of Finance regarding stalled salary negotiations, threatening industrial action if their request is ignored. Separately, the ASPP/PSP union is scheduled to meet on September 10 to decide on new national protests due to the government's lack of progress on the risk supplement agreement established in 2024.

Why it matters

While no strike is currently active, these police unions are preparing for potential industrial action later in September, which could affect public services and safety operations if negotiations remain stalled.
