Victoria Police officers in Australia are escalating industrial action in their ongoing pay dispute, demanding a 24% wage increase over four years and 8.5-hour shifts. A previously accepted agreement for a 16% raise was rejected by union members. The Fair Work Commission has been called to assist in negotiations, which have stalled. Premier Jacinta Allan supports the police and emphasizes good faith negotiations. The actions include alerting drivers to speed cameras and decorating patrol cars with slogans.
