The Judiciary is plagued by labor claims that have two avenues of expression. On the one hand, the forceful measures after the failure in the joint negotiation. And, on the other, an injunction presented by tax assistants throughout the province due to the hours they work extra. A warm atmosphere.
The very short two-day business week had two new developments. The first was the action presented by the Association of Judicial Officials against three resolutions of the Attorney General’s Office that establish the working conditions of tax assistants.
This protection has not yet been addressed and its resolution is delayed. The state union decided not to present a precautionary measure, because it understands – as a player who participates in that board of power relations – that this appeal would be rejected from the start by the judges.
Now, in the sector of tax assistants, fever is growing because no magistrate wanted to deal with the protection. Because of this, a co-judge had to be bypassed.
The claim points to the resolutions signed by the attorney Alejandro Gullé that establishes the working hours in the tax offices. The complaints emphasize the work overload that this range of employees has, since they exceed the amount required by law.
The assistants are paid the Criminal Procedure Code item for the two more hours, but it is less than what they should be paid for overtime. Furthermore, they have already presented the forms with the completed schedules, where the infraction in the Judiciary is evident.
The question is how the Attorney General’s Office and the Supreme Court will justify the irregularity of this salary bonus.
Meanwhile, anger is also fueled by some situations that are observed in the handling of the Attorney General’s Office. The thing is that while the entire judicial conflict is happening, the coordinator Andrea Chávez took leave. She is not completely disconnected, because Chávez continues to give orders remotely, from outside the province.
The ruse to return to unemployment
Meanwhile, Judicial Employees will return to forceful measures starting this Monday, still under the umbrella of mandatory conciliation.
This is because they found a ruse to carry out a covert “strike.” They bowed to a claim from the national union – Judicial Federation of Argentina-, so they will paralyze the justice service for the duration of that assembly whose purpose is to request a new employment contract.
A priori, the previous week they had already announced that they will not appear at the new hearings at the Undersecretary of Labor, after having rejected the last salary offer made by the Court.
Meanwhile, it is not yet known whether the highest court will appeal to extend the mandatory conciliation for ten more days. This would lead to the conflict being moved to August, when the courts return to work after the judicial fair in July.
