Chris Cahill: Police Association President on the outcome of the police pay negotiations

The Police Association feels a recent pay deal doesn't recognise the force's work enough.   An independent arbitrator stepped in after negotiations with the Police Association failed, siding with the Government's offer.   Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking while it's not the worst deal ever, it doesn't get officers back even with inflation over the past years.  He says neither does it address the big increases in demand and risk, and the complexity of the role.   Cahill says other groups who are able to strike have had this recognised, but police never have.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
