Given the null offer by Justice, the unions presented their own proposal that includes all the claims that gave rise to the conflict

After being together all day, he Ministry of Justice has called on officials to continue negotiations after the general election on July 23, an offer that has been considered insufficient by union representatives that, however, they are confident that they will be able to reach some kind of agreement when the meeting resumes in the remainder of the day, reported EL PERIÓDICO, from the Prensa Ibérica group, sources familiar with the content of the meeting.

After the negotiations in the afternoon, the strike committee reported that the Ministry of Justice had limited itself to handing them “a four-paragraph page document in which it does not even convey the statements that it had formulated verbally during the morning and which also were absolutely insufficient” for officials.

Without any proposal, they add, only includes the “commitment of the ministry to continue the dialogue started after the end of the electoral period and only in relation to a possible new law of organizational efficiency of Justice “without any mention of functions or remuneration”.

Given the null offer from Justice, the unions presented their own proposal that includes all the claims that gave rise to the conflict, and asked the Ministry of Justice for a new recess for their study and response, which at 8:30 p.m. were still waiting. The objective is to obtain some type of offer that allows the mobilizations that began in April to be suspended.

discriminatory treatment

As soon as Justice agreed a rise of more than 400 euros with the lawyers of the Administration of Justice, officials started partial strikess with the argument that they assumed day-to-day responsibilities that officially correspond to that body or to the judges, for which reason they demanded a remuneration adequacy to their real tasks.

The strikes, which began two months ago, were replaced by strikes three days a week and then by indefinite strikes, but the ministry did not agree to meet with them until they threatened to take the minister, Pilar Llop, and her Secretary of State, Tontxu Rodríguez, to the Supreme Court for not sitting down to negotiate. Among other allegations, they criticized that Justice had met with judges and prosecutors, with whom it had also agreed to a salary increase, and had not even met with officials until Tuesday, which they considered “classist” and discriminatory.
