The Independent Guild of Cyprus Public Employees denounces the accumulation of unpaid overtime duties from October 2021 and unpaid back pay from September 2020 to hundreds of low-paid police officers and firefighters, despite the timetables that have been set from time to time.
As it says in a statement, "the daily operation of the Police and, by extension, the security of the state and citizens, due to a shortage of personnel in the Security Corps, requires to a large extent, overtime duties in the Police, which have increased due to the influx of a large number of migrants, the possibility of a terrorist attack, the increase in crime, the prevention and suppression of organised crime, the increased policing measures resulting from civil protests, and the monitoring of compliance with and implementation of pandemic management orders.
