This is the best summary I could come up with:
Victorian police and protective services officers have begun industrial action as part of an escalating pay dispute with the state government.
The Police Association Victoria (TPAV) secretary Wayne Gatt said members were "burnt out, stressed out and suffering" and wanted an end to the protracted negotiations.
A TPAV survey released in September found about 20 per cent of the force was planning to quit, citing burnout among the key issues.
Mr Gatt urged the state government to come to the table in negotiations, instead of Victoria Police representatives, as the ultimate employer of the force.
"The government has made very clear to the people sitting around the table that we expect these negotiations to firstly be conducted in good faith, but secondly we do want to see them concluded with a strong outcome," she said.
The previous enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) which covers about 17,5000 police and protective services officers came to an end Thursday.
