Police unionists on Monday morning picketed the ministry, calling on Igas to tackle problems concerning the police disciplinary regime and transportation discounts.

Union leader Iulian Surugiu told MEDIAFAX that from August 8 until August 19 unionists will picket the ministry daily. He added police officers ask Igas to solve the problems sparked by two of the orders he issued, namely Order 400/2004 on the police disciplinary regime and Order 136/2004 on discounting transportation costs.

The ministry has started a reorganization process which aims to slash 10,000 jobs.

Igas said recently that 5,000 or 6,000 ministry employees should be made redundant by the end of September, after some decided to retire or suspended themselves.

The minister said about 30,000 ministry employees got their jobs using their influence, and added that 63,500 people with no military training were hired over the past 13 years.
