Security forces unions demanding wage increase

Representatives of labor unions are scheduled to meet with the Minister of the Interior this afternoon to discuss wages for police officers, firefighters, and customs officers. The Security Forces Union is demanding a minimum wage increase of 6.9%, matching the planned salary hikes for politicians and judges next year. Vít Rakušan (Mayors and Independents Party) previously stated that the salary budget for police officers and firefighters would increase by 5% starting in January, with additional raises promised for the following two years.
