# The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union has rallied support behind the Congress of South African Trade Unions’ nationwide protest against the rising cost of living in several provinces today. The union says workers, including police officers, correctional officials and traffic officers, are struggling with soaring food prices, transport, electricity and healthcare costs. POPCRU argues that stagnant wages and austerity measures are worsening economic hardship for public servants. The union calls for urgent government intervention, lower living costs, and an end to policies that deepen poverty, inequality and social instability.
