More and more police officers all over Poland are taking sick leaves

The first days of November are All Saints' Day on the 1st and All Souls' Day on the 2nd. These are traditionally very important dates for Poles. Millions of people are now on their way to visit the graves of their loved ones and traditionally police road patrols are on their guard during the "Znicz" (Candle) operation. However, this time it might be hampered in Łódź voivodeship where police officers are taking sick leaves en masse. Similar situation is taking place in many other parts of Poland. The General Police Headquarters explains that it's due to "illness season", whereas police trade unions speak openly about a "reaction to a lack of will" to meet the demand of the officers.
