SpainThe Sindicato Reformista de la Policía (SRP) has been fighting for over a decade to allow National Police officers in Spain to freely join labor unions such as Comisiones Obreras or UGT. Founded in 2016 by three officers—Manuel Soler, Carolina Yáñez, and Luis Miguel Lorente Moreno—the SRP was created in response to the Law Organic 9/2015, which restricted police officers to only joining unions composed exclusively of members of their body.

In 2021, they sent a letter to the Ministry of the Interior expressing these concerns but received no response. Since 2024, the SRP has focused on persuading major labor unions to support their cause, though progress remains limited.
