Ciudadanos asks Justice "how it plans to solve" the "conflict" with the LAJs to avoid the indefinite strike

The formation asks the Government if it will agree "as a remuneration formula any of the proposals" of the associations

MADRID, 17 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Citizens have asked the Ministry of Justice directed by Pilar Llop "how do you plan to solve" the open "conflict" with the Lawyers of the Administration of Justice (LAJ), who this Monday asked the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, to adopt the " necessary measures" to avoid the indefinite strike called for January 24.

The orange formation, through its parliamentary spokesman, Edmundo Bal, has registered a parliamentary question in which he asks the Executive if "it will agree as a remuneration formula any of the proposals by the lawyers' associations themselves to reduce the population groups or approve the down payment clause".

In his letter, Cs recalls that last December the associations of lawyers of the Administration of Justice issued a statement in which they set January 24 as the date on which an indefinite strike will begin in this body, "before the attitude of the Minister of Justice, from whose Ministry no meeting with the strike committee has been requested to discuss the breach of the commitments agreed with the collective".

"The functions of the lawyers are of a technical nature: they are in charge of ordering and promoting the judicial process. They are responsible, among other things, for the documentation, for preparing the orders and files to record the resolutions issued by the judges and magistrates , and organization, management and inspection tasks. Precisely, the functions of the lawyers are the origin of the conflict, "says the party.

Along these lines, they point out that "in 2009 the procedural laws were reformed in order to expedite judicial work. "To this end, the Government decided that many of the tasks carried out by judges would become the responsibility of lawyers. The reason for this change was to decongest justice by focusing the work of judges on holding trials and passing sentences", he explains.

Cs emphasizes that, "in practice, this change added new tasks for the lawyers, who began to process the procedures and execute sentences." "The Ministry with its reform loaded with more work that was not accompanied by higher remuneration. An extreme that the lawyers' associations did not claim at that time due to the financial crisis, since they considered that it was not the moment. In addition, the Government promised to adapt the remuneration of the lawyers to their new functions when the crisis subsided," he recalls.

Thus, the formation points out that the general budgets of 2021 "were the first document in which the Government recorded in writing its intention to increase the salaries of lawyers, 12 years after adding more tasks to their functions".

"In the process of negotiating this amount, the first schism between the judicial technicians and the Government was triggered. The Ministry of Justice negotiated with the generalist unions and without the intervention of any of the lawyers' associations," says Cs.

In this regard, the formation points out that "the associations of lawyers who call the strike denounce that the Ministry of Justice has not yet presented a concrete proposal." "With the statement presented by the LAJ associations, the materialization of a reform of the remuneration decrees is sought to reverse the discrimination that they suffer from other bodies, equally dependent on the Ministry," the letter continues.

The oranges explain that the "solutions that their associations have offered go through two different formulas that would guarantee the disappearance of this pay discrimination." "The first path consists", according to Cs, "in hooking the salaries of lawyers to those of prosecutors and judges."

"That is, increase the salary of justice technicians, linking it proportionally to that of the judicial career. Currently, each group of workers receives according to its decree of remuneration that is not linked," he asserts.

Cs adds that "the second way to resolve the conflict, proposed by the College, is to reduce the population groups from five to three." "Currently the lawyers are paid according to the populations they serve and, unlike other Justice officials in the same category, instead of three they have five groups," he adds.

In this way, the training concludes, "those who earn less for being stationed in small urban centers, would earn more." However, Cs warns that "in any case, both paths reach the same result: adapt the salaries of judicial technicians to their functions."
