The police are initiating a strike, not targeting citizens, but protesting against the government and its perceived lack of understanding. Marko Jakac, the syndicate’s vice-president, stated to STA that the action is directed at the ruling administration. Approximately 200 police officers will commence the strike today.
During this period of industrial action, certain preventative measures will be suspended. However, officers will continue to fulfill their legal obligations, including safeguarding individuals and assets, and investigating criminal offenses. The Police Syndicate of Slovenia has presented specific demands within the appendix to the collective agreement, a matter of lengthy negotiation.
The core of their concerns revolves around the classification of career police roles within established pay grades. Furthermore, they seek a revised definition for the positions held by professional technical staff within the police force. The syndicate’s objective is to ensure fair compensation and recognition for the work of the police.
This strike highlights the ongoing dispute between the police and the government, centering on issues of pay, classification, and professional recognition within the police service.
