EXPECTATION FROM THE ITALIAN POLICE OFFICERS FROM THE POLICE TRADE UNIONS
SOME MONTHS AGO ONE REPRESENTATIVE ITALIAN POLICE TRADE UNION HAS PUBLISHED ON AN ITALIAN NEWSPAPER THE DIFFERENCES OF THE SALARY OF THE POLICE OFFICERS OF THE STATE POLICE OF ITALY IN COMPARE WITH THE OTHER POLICE FORCES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHERE THIS STUDY HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT POLICE OFFICERS OF THE STATE POLICE OF ITALY ARE IN THE LAST POSITION IN EUROPE IN COMPARE WITH THE RICHEST COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION CONCERNING THE SALARY ,CONSIDERING THAT IF WE ARE GROUPING ALL THE UNIONS TOGETHER WE DISCOVER THEYR ABOUT 80000 POLICE OFFICERS AFFILIATED AS I HAVE MENTIONED IN OTHER COMMENTS I WONDER HOW IS POSSIBLE THAT WITH SUCH A GREAT FORCE OF AFFILIATED POLICE OFFICERS TO POLICE TRADE UNIONS WE ARE LISTED IN THE LAST POSITION OF RETRIBUITIONS IN COMPARE WITH GERMANY,FRANCE, BELGIUM ETC.
THE UNIFORM OF THE STATE POLICE OF ITALY IS BEAUTYFUL WITH ITS COLORS BUT NOWADAYS CONCERNING OPERATIONAL DUTY, POLICE OFFICERS ON PATROL NEED MORE CONFORTABLE UNIFORMS LET'S SAY MORE PRACTICAL AS THEY HAVE DONE IN FRANCE OR IN THE UNITED KINDOM THE POLICE CAP S HAVE BEEN CHANGED CONCERNING CERTAIN OPERATIONAL DUTY IN ITALY WHILE THE POLICE CAP HAS REMAINED THE SAME.
HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES ARE NOT PROPERLY APPLIED IN ALL THE OFFICES BECAUSE SOME STRUCTURES ARE VERY OLD AND IT COST MONEY FOR THE STATE STATE TO RENEW ALL THE STRUCURESINSTEAD THE STATE POLICE OF ITALY HAS A GOOD GUN BERETTA 92 FS FOR THIS WE CAN SAY WE ARE IN AT THE TOP.
AS SALARY AS I HAVE ABOVE MENTIONED WITH ENTRY OF THE EURO LIFE HAS BECOME MORE DIFFULT FOR A POLICE OFFICER THAT HAS TO CARRY ON ALL HIS FAMILY WITH THE ENTRY OF THE EURO MOST OF PRODUCTS ON THE MARCKET HAVE DOUBLED THEYR PRICES AND THE SLARY HAQS REMAINED ABOUT THE SAME.
THE GOVERNMENT INVESTEMENT ABOUT TECNOLOGY IN SOME SECTORS IS AT THE TOP WHILE IN OTHERS WITH A LOT OF DEFICIENCY FOR EXAMPLE POLICE DEPARMENTS NEED MORE TECNOLOGY WHILE SPECIAL AGENCY HAS CRIMINALPOL THEY GET ALL WHAT THEY NEED AND WE CAN SAY THAT AS INVESTIGATION THIS AGENCIES ARE VERY WELL STRUCURED.
THE MAIN REVENGE OF POLICE OFFICERS AND THEY EXPECTATION FROM THE BATTLES OF THEYR POLICE TRADE UNIONS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1) DEMAND OF HIGHER SALARY (WE FIGURE IN THE LAST POSITION IN THE EUROPEAN
UNIONS
2) MORE TECNOLOGY INVESTMENT
3) MORE SURVEY ON HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES
POLICE OFFICERS IN ITALY WITH A BETTER SALARY CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE AND CARRY ON THEY TASKS EVEN BETTER IF THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS THEYR BASIC NEEDS.
NOW ALL ITALIAN POLICE OFFICERS ARE AWARE ABOUT THEESE PROBLEMATICS, POLICE UNIONS ARE AWARE OF THEESE PROBLEMATICS BUT THEYR REVENGES SEEMS POWELESS WITHOUT EFFECT. CONSIDERING THAT WHEN YOU NEED A TOOTH CARE CONCERNING ONE CARIE YOU SPEND ABOUT 200 EUR! WITH A PRIVATE DOCTOR OUR PRODUCTIVITY REWARD HAS BEEN ENCREASED OF 350 EUR PER YEAR NOT MUCH CONSIDERING THAT ALL THE OTHER EMPLOYERS OF OTHER WORKING CATEGORIES GET THE FOURTEENTH SALARY WHILE THE POLICE IN ITALY THAT HAS VERY DANGEROUS TASK DOESN'T GET THIS FOURTEENTH SALARY, AS POLICE OFFICER MY SALARY IS AT THE MOMENT 1250 EUR MY RANK CONSTABLE WITH 13 YEAR SERVICE WITHOUT NIGHT CHIFTS IF I WOULD HAVE DONE NIGHT CHIFTS MY SALARY WOULD BE ENCREASE OF 200 EUR
POLICE OFFICERS ENTRUST THEYR EXPECTATION TOWARD POLICE UNIONS BUT THEYR HOPE AND TRUST TOWARD THEESE MANY POLICE UNIONS IS VERY POOR. I AM THE FIRST ONE IN SUPPORT OF A GOOD ACTIVITY OF A POLICE TRADE UNIONS INFACT I AM A MEMBER OF POLICE TRADE UNION BUT POLICE TRADE UNIONS ABOUT MY POINT OF VEW SHOULD BE LESS POLITICIZED AND LISTEN TO THE HUMOUR OF THE POLITICAL PARTY A POLICE TRADE UNIONS NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THE EXPECTATION OF POLICE OFFICERS NOT THE POLITICAL PARTY. THE UNIONS NEED TO BE NEUTRAL AND WHEN GOOD PROPOSAL ARISE FROM THE GOVERNEMENT WITH CONCRETE ACTIONS DOESN.T MATTER THE COLOR OF THE PARTY IMPORTANT IS THE WELFARE OF THE POLICE SERVICE BECAUSE IT IS A SERVICE FOR THE CITIDENS NOT FOR THE POLITICAL HUMOUR IN FASCHION SO WHEN THE PEOLE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THE WELFARE OF THE POLICE MEANS THE WELFARE OF THE SOCIETY AND ITS CITIDENS IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY AND THAT POLICE UNIONS NEED TO INVEST THEYR EFFORT TOWARD THE WELFARE OF POLICE OFFICERS INSTED OF LISTENING THE HUMOUR OF POLITICIANS ABOUT MY OPINION WOULD BE BETTER ONE POLICE TRADE UNION FEDERATION SIMILAR AS IN UK OR TWO OR MAXIMUS THREE UNIONS AS IN GERMANY I AM SURE THAT THINGS WILL GET BETTER BUT THE POLITICAL TRICK IS THIS THAT OUR ADMINISTRATION OF INTERIOR PREFERS MANY UNIONS AS DEMOCRATIC VALUE BUT THIS BRINGS MUCH CONFUSION NOT GOOD RESULTS AND THE ROOSTERS INSTEAD OF DEALING THE MATTERS WITH OUR ADMINISTRATOR THEY DEAL WITH EACHETHER WEAKENING THEYR FORCE FUNNY ISN'IT?
