On December 11, at the call of the Independent Self-governing Trade Union of Border Security Service Employees, border guards joined a nationwide protest action by police and firefighters in Poland. This is reported by foreign media.
Border guards demand a 15% salary increase in 2025 and the right to retire after 18 years of service, as well as the introduction of the same benefits that are available to military personnel. The Polish government provides for a salary increase of only 5% in the budget.
Earlier, the independent self-governing Polish police union announced a nationwide indefinite protest action after the authorities refused to negotiate.
Polish police officers demand to increase salaries by 15% in 2025, link the budgets of law enforcement agencies with GDP and equalize the social benefits of all law enforcement agencies with the benefits of employees of the Polish Ministry of Defense.
The National Fire Service of Poland supported the indefinite strike of police officers and went on strike due to non-compliance with the requirements of trade unions of enterprises subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
