In an unprecedented reaction, the Río Negro Magistrates’ Association kicked the board and confronted the judicial union. The response was known following the Sitrajur required officials to give up a part of their salaries to compensate lower-paid positions. “There is no significant gap” launched the group once morest the union leadership that holds the highest hierarchy.
More words, less words, the College of Magistrates established its position in the salary discussion: they defended the judicial career, the preparation required to apply for competitions and maintained that they do not hold political positions and that their salary “It is a right of the Constitution.”
The most important argument in the response is seen when they talk regarding the small gap that exists between the highest administrative positions (head of office, division and department) and a position of first instance, for example that of judge or defender. One of the union’s demands was to improve the salaries of the lowest levels of administrative positions in the Judicial Branch of Río Negro.
Precisely, a project from the Superior Court of Justice seeks to ban the unionization of those higher-ranking administrative positions. The Legislature was going to discuss this reform in December of last year, but the issue was postponed. The regulations provide for cutting the possibility for hierarchical positions to participate in the union and retain services.
The Judicial Branch has a staff of almost 3 thousand employees and members are 967. Nearly 200 unionized employees hold the categories of head of office, division and department with salaries that are around two million. These are the positions referred to by the College of Magistrates whose gap is minimal because they earn a little less than the first instance officials elected by the Council of the Judiciary.
Among those charges is the leadership of the Sitrajur. If the project prospers, the leaders of the judicial union would have to choose: o They leave hierarchical positions or continue in union activity.
The union is one of the smallest in the province and is not supported only by the membership fee but by the income from all the trials in the province. They receive a percentage of two per thousand. The 2022 financial year closed with a collection of 37 million pesos for the union as a result of that 2 per thousand that people pay in the trials that take place in Río Negro.
The response of the College of Magistrates to the union’s request for them to renounce part of their salary came from the hand of a complex decision by Attorney Jorge Crespo. Last year, the head of the Public Ministry decided to review union licenses since the regulations provide for two licenses per District.
A much higher number of licenses was specifically noticed in Cipolletti. That is, employees who receive their salaries and do not go to work because they are members of the union. This happens especially in defense offices, an essential service for people without resources.
Discontent is growing in these organizations since they have fewer staff and cannot fill these vacancies. In Cinco Saltos Crespo ordered a summary for an employee who has not worked for more than three years.
