Yes

But if this Stinking government followed the "binding" recommendation's of the arbitration panel it could be avoided, for now, but I'm afraid all trust in the government have long gone.
The award of 2.5% is hardly generous, but then delaying it (making it only 1.9%) is an insult.

How many weekends without football do you think they would cope with, if the police stopped football duties? Currently if officers refuse to do overtime, leave will be cancelled so they have to do it, but with the right to strike they can refuse certain aspect of extra duties without going on full strike.
