The Police Officers Union within the GWU has issued industrial action directives to its members after leave for quarantine dispute remains unresolved with the government. The union has ordered officers to not wear ties, berets or shave after COVID-19 positive officers were not given quarantine leave. The issue goes back to January as POU claimed officers were not given quarantine leave.
The symbolic directives will be put into force tomorrow at 9AM as no resolution seems to be made. PN has criticised the decision to categorise COVID-19 absences from work as sick leaves and not quarantine leave.
