FIJI POLICE THREATEN STRIKE OVER PAY Submitted by admin on Fri, 12/20/2002 - 00:00
SUVA, Fiji (Radio New Zealand International, Dec. 20) - Fiji will be in danger of becoming a Mecca for criminals if regular officers and special constables of the police force go ahead with their plans to stage a strike.
The Daily Post quotes an officer as saying the strike could start as early as Monday if no concrete action is taken to better their pay and working conditions.
He says police have been holding meetings and a strike is the best option they have come up with.
The officer says working without pay, especially while serving on special operations, and catching buses and taxis and paying from their own pockets while attending to calls for help were a common practice for police officers.
