Bunting calls on police to discontinue strike action

The  Minister of National  Security, Peter Bunting is calling  on  members  of  the  Police Federation to discontinue  their protest action. 

In a release, Bunting said such action is inappropriate for members of the essential services.

He says the industrial action exposes the public  to  unnecessary  risk; and may damage the professional  image  of  the JCF that has seen significant improvements in recent years."

Bunting says the Security Ministry stands ready to assist the negotiations between Police  Federation  and  the  Ministry  of  Finance  and  the  Public  Service  once  this action is discontinued and the parties return to the bargaining table.
