“No analyzes for ten months, and now the ministry says that in a few weeks it will conduct appropriate analyzes and present appropriate solutions to the police and other uniformed services,” said Sgt. staff. Jacek Łukasik during a police picket in front of the Sejm. Earlier, he revealed in an interview with the wPolityce.pl portal that the unions that did not protest against the wage increases were invited to a meeting with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, Tomasz Siemoniak, about wage increases. “Due to the fact that the police ‘Solidarity’ was the only union that had the courage to announce a protest, we were not invited,” he said in an interview with our website.
During the picket in front of the Sejm, uniformed service officers and civil servants again presented their demands. This includes matters such as a salary indexation of 15 percent, linking the budgets of the uniformed services to the GDP indicator and equalizing the social benefits of civil servants from services subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Finance. benefits of professional soldiers. .
Operation “Lucyna”
During the picket, Sgt. staff. Jacek Łukasik, chairman of the protest committee of the National Police Council of NSZZ “Solidarność”.
In view of the fact that the Minister of the Interior and Administration held on Friday the first meeting of the team for improving service conditions at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, to which we were not invited due to our protest, we would like to inform you that after the announcements of both the unions participating in these meetings, and of the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Affairs, there was an uproar among our police community and a grassroots initiative took some steps regarding the so-called the “Lucyna” campaign, which was announced by one of the newspapers and one of the television stations
– he said.
The media reported that police officers wanted to intensify the protest. They will take mass sick leave, including: November 11, when the Independence March passes through Warsaw.
We as a responsible trade union have never encouraged people to go to the doctor en masse to determine whether police officers are sick or not, our actions are based on something else.
– he made a reservation.
From October 30 to November 11, we encourage police officers to undergo preventive examinations. Since October is Breast Cancer Screening Month, we encourage women to see their doctor. And as November approaches and it is the month in which men are screened for prostate and testicular cancer, we also encourage men to see their doctor. It is known that such a visit to a specialist can be preceded by a visit to a general practitioner who will determine whether the person is healthy and whether he or she is eligible for these tests, after which a complete blood count and other blood tests can also be performed. be carried out, which we also encourage.
– he explained.
A frivolous attitude
Regarding the proposals, after Friday’s meeting we received information that the Ministry of the Interior and Administration will need a few more weeks to analyze the submitted demands, which have already been put forward for the umpteenth time.
– said Sergeant. staff. Jacek Łukasik.
A police officer says the demands were first submitted in December and subsequently repeated several times.
No analyzes for ten months, and now the ministry says that in a few weeks it will conduct appropriate analyzes and present appropriate solutions to the police and other uniformed services. In our opinion, this is disrespectful treatment of police officers, firefighters and security guards alike. There has been time for analysis for months. If the ministry cannot conduct analyzes for ten months, what are we talking about? Are we still having fun? We can have fun, we are not for fun, we are for details. We want the security of the state not to be undermined
– he said.
Our conversation
We would like to remind you that Tomasz Siemoniak, Minister of the Interior and Administration, organized a meeting with unions of uniformed services, but did not invite the only union that organized protest actions, namely the National Police Department of NSZZ “Solidarność”.
This is interesting because all these unions are not protesting and have not announced industrial action. They only expressed in writing their outrage at the fact that the increase next year was 5% and not 15%. Because the police “Solidarity” was the only union that had the courage to announce a protest action, we were not invited.
– said Sgt. in an interview with the wPolityce.pl portal. staff. Jacek Łukasik,
