French Municipal Police Union Announces Indefinite Strike Over Sick Leave Changes

The strike is in response to government plans to extend unpaid sick leave and reduce compensation for public sector workers.

The Syndicat national de la sécurité publique, representing municipal police officers, has filed a notice for an indefinite strike starting November 15.
The strike is a reaction to the government's proposal to increase the unpaid sick leave period from one to three days for public sector employees.
Proposed changes also include reducing sick leave compensation from 100% to 90% of salary.
The government's plan is part of a broader initiative to cut 5 billion euros from the budget, with 1.2 billion euros expected from changes to public sector sick leave.
The union warns that these measures could further demoralize the 27,000 municipal police officers in France.
