PSP and GNR police unions meet with Government

Police unions and GNR associations are meeting with the Ministry of Internal Administration this Thursday, September 17, to discuss risk subsidies and a special supplement for airport border control. A second meeting is scheduled for September 29 to discuss career restructuring and working hours. Some unions have separately announced a cycle of protests starting September 22, citing the government's failure to implement previously agreed-upon salary and career revisions.

Why it matters

While this meeting is a step in ongoing negotiations, police unions have announced protests from September 22 to October 30; if you rely on public services or are traveling during this time, be aware that industrial action may affect police availability or operational efficiency.
