Have Your Say On Industrial Rights

4 June 2024

Sussex Police Federation members are urged to have their say on whether police officers should seek to have industrial rights.

The Police Federation of England and Wales is asking its members in all forces whether it should pursue industrial rights for officers, and specifically, whether to seek to establish the right to ‘collective bargaining’ and a fairer pay mechanism with binding arbitration.

All members of Sussex Police Federation will receive an email from the PFEW containing a link through which they can voice their own opinion.

Chair Raffaele Cioffi has urged all Federation members to have their say. He said: “It is time to choose. For far too long members have been left behind when it comes to pay. This is your opportunity to have your say in what direction PFEW takes this discussion.

“With the General Election on the horizon this is the perfect time to make it clear that we have been taken advantage of and undervalued.”

Federation members will receive a link to the poll via MiVoice, the company that manages the election process for PFEW. The vote opened on Monday 3 June and will close on Friday 23 June at 21:59.

Members should contact the Sussex Police Federation office if they have not yet received a link. Please ensure you also check your spam or any email addresses registered with the Federation.
