Most Mossos Subinspectors Plan One-Day Absence to Press for Pay and On-Call Recognition

The group will use personal leave because police in Catalonia are not allowed to strike.

Overview

  • Subinspectors intend to stay off the job for a single day this Wednesday by taking personal-affairs leave in a coordinated action.
  • La Vanguardia reports there are 412 subinspectors and says 164 had requested the day off by midday Monday, while El Periódico cites more than 300 planning to participate.
  • Participants cite salaries that they say barely exceed those of sergeants despite greater managerial duties and round-the-clock availability.
  • The initiative is organized by an independent platform outside formal union leadership, and the Seime-Fepol union has urged patience with ongoing talks.
  • Interior expressed surprise at the timing, said negotiations with human resources are progressing, and the force is preparing measures to limit operational disruption.
