Police Association Meets with Parties Over Work Schedule Changes

The Cyprus Police Association (SAK) held a series of meetings with the parliamentary parties AKEL and DIKO regarding the "unilateral modification" of the police work schedule. Both parties expressed full support for SAK's request to reinstate the previous schedule, emphasizing the need to respect workers' rights and social dialogue. AKEL pledged to exert pressure through the relevant Parliamentary Committee to suspend the directive and initiate a dialogue. SAK will continue its contacts with all parties, seeking to prevent decisions that undermine the smooth functioning of the Police and the labor rights of police officers.
