Unions have introduced that Palma Police will probably be taking protest motion as a result of a brand new plan for police organisation is not going to be place from January 1, as had been meant.
The police will undertake “a change in fact”, say the unions, the city corridor’s councillor for public perform, Mercedes Celeste, insisting “we’re working at full pace” on the plan. She suggests will probably be applied a while through the first quarter of 2026.
However, the unions, 4 in all, imagine there may be “a scarcity of will” and that deliberate political methods are behind the choice. In a letter to the police drive, they level out that the service continues to perform solely due to the efforts of the officers, who “are sustaining a dysfunctional construction“, whereas the administration “improvises” and presents itself as a great supervisor.
An agreed-upon plan had been negotiated “in good religion”, add the unions. Officers is not going to surrender days off or relaxation durations to be able to cowl service shortages, nor will they voluntarily take part in reinforcement duties, corresponding to summer time deployments or in operations within the Son Banya shanty city.
Protest actions will start this month. “If the brand new plan will not be applied, will probably be solely as a result of administration’s choice and never as a consequence of a scarcity of willingness on the a part of the workers.”
Celeste explains: “When the ultimate doc was offered, city corridor technicians discovered some shortcomings. For this motive, an interdisciplinary committee was fashioned and work started to enhance the doc. This has led us to a job analysis.”
Advice was wanted for this analysis. “It has delayed us. We will not be prepared by January 1, however we’re working at full pace to have it applied through the first quarter. The essential factor is that it is performed proper. There is a political dedication – it is the mayor’s phrase – but it surely must be performed accurately.”
