Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi has given Police the right to join a union.

Addressing a political activity in Marsascala, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi announced he told the Police Commissioner that Police would now have the right to join a union.

"We accepted Police should join a union, but without the right to strike," Gonzi said, adding he was so pleased seeing the police managing the traffic as part of the task force's plan on public transport reform.

"I enjoy watching the police out on the road," Gonzi added.
