DISY Supports Police Officers Regarding Schedules After Meeting with SAK

The Democratic Rally (DISY) has expressed its full support for police officers regarding the issue of working hours, following a meeting between the party's President, Annita Dimitriou, and the President of the Cyprus Police Association (SAK) and members of its Central Committee. The meeting took place in a positive atmosphere and focused on the negative consequences of the recent decision by the Chief of Police to change schedules, both on the labor rights and well-being of police officers and on the smooth functioning of the Police Force. SAK analyzed the impact of the decision, emphasizing that it undermines social dialogue and is taken without discussion in the competent bodies. The President of DISY and the party's MPs listened carefully to the Association's positions and expressed concern about the process followed, stressing that the operational capacity of the Police and the safety of citizens cannot be strengthened by unilateral decisions. DISY committed to supporting the issue in the House Legal Committee, where it has already been registered for discussion. SAK expressed its full and unconditional support for all police officers affected by the decision and assured that it will use all legal means to protect their rights. The meeting is a continuation of SAK's reaction to the change in schedules, which it considers harmful to personnel and the effectiveness of the Police. DISY's support is expected to give new impetus to the Association's effort to renegotiate the decision.
