Changes in Police Working Hours and Union Reactions
June 3, 2026
The police union 'Equality' is pushing back against changes to police working hours, resulting in a confrontation with the minister and the Police Chief. The issue is now in court, and the union president, Nikos Loizidis, accuses the Chief of providing inaccurate information about working hours. Loizidis is calling for a meeting at the presidential office to avoid further unrest. He highlights that the recent changes will negatively impact the leave and work conditions for officers. He argues that previous administrations did not protest and that the 2019 agreement was applied to everyone.
