Latvian United Trade Union of Policemen Chairman Agris Suna told BNS that an explanation for the low participation in thecampaign could be the fact that many policemen at weekends work in otherjobs, mainly as security guards in companies.
Policemen from Kuldiga, Rezekne, Jekabpils, Ventspils and other Latviancities came to the protest campaign, but the majority of the participantswere from Riga. Many policemen arrived to the rally with their families andchildren.
Participants of the rally were carrying posters that read "We require humanworthy wage," "A cop is a human being, too" and "Ice age for wages whileprices are growing."
