JCF Sick Out - Firemon - 12-22-2017
No police tomorrow (Saturday). Island-wide wage strike.
--------------------------------------------
The U.S. Embassy Kingston informs U.S. citizens that it has received reports that due to the failure of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) labor federation and the Government of Jamaica to come to a wage agreement, there is a planned “sick out” of rank and file officers for tomorrow, December 23rd. The previous “sick out” last week resulted in a shortage of 1200 officers island-wide. The Embassy urges you to exercise caution this weekend while visiting shopping areas throughout Kingston, which will be exceptionally crowded and possibly without the appropriate level of police presence. If possible, conduct your shopping needs during daylight hours, and use enhanced awareness if engaging in “Nightmarket” activities on December 24th.

'Disgusting...some of them need pay cuts not pay increases.
Should be performance managed, then maybe the 60% of murders they recently published as unresolved might be a lot lower, and those officers that are effective would be rewarded in salary level.....
This wouldn't be allowed in the UK.

They received a $99JMD raise. That's it and that's disgusting.
They were on sick-out the day of the protest yet there were cops of all kinds "responding" all day.
Not leaving the yard today to see if they are staked out at their favorite shady spot by Hungry Lion.
