The CSIF union also calls a demonstration against the Organizational Efficiency Law on December 16
MADRID, 1 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Officials of the Administration of Justice from all over Spain are called to gather this Friday in front of their respective judicial headquarters to protest against the Organizational Efficiency Law (LEO) which, in the opinion of the Independent Union Central and Officials (CSIF), ” It will imply changes in working conditions without negotiating with the workers’ representatives”.
The meeting, convened by the CSIF itself, is part of a calendar of mobilizations that will continue until the Ministry led by Pilar Llop “sits down to negotiate the future LEO and commits to solving the historical problems that the Spanish Justice is dragging”. Thus, Justice employees are called to meet this Friday from 11:00 am and also on December 16.
The president of the CSIF Justice sector, Javier Jordán, denounced on Wednesday in a statement that, after the salary agreement signed with the CCOO and UGT that aggravates the loss of purchasing power dragged on since 2010, the Ministry of Justice intends to launch the LEO without taking into account the position of the workers and, therefore, violating collective bargaining.
“This regulation, currently in parliamentary proceedings and which will be approved in the coming months, assumes that the salary supplements, working hours, schedules, the distribution of positions, the functions and tasks of each of the services and of each position, the provision of and the options to choose different destinations will already be predetermined at the negotiating table by the criteria approved between the Ministry and the autonomous communities,” he said.
In this sense, Jordán stressed that the Government “is more interested in the partisan fight and politicking in the fundamental organs of Justice when the priority would be to provide it with more and better means to make it more agile and more effective for the citizen”.
“There is a deficit of 22,000 jobs, from judges to legal aid personnel; there is computer equipment that does not work and is outdated, courts that are falling apart and a totally overwhelmed staff that defends their working conditions because there is a real risk that they will worsen,” denounced Jordán, who regretted that it is the citizens, “once again, who pay the consequences enduring slow and excessively bureaucratic justice.”
Lastly, Jordán described as “unacceptable” that Justice officials “have to be the pagans of the new organizational model that the Government intends to impose”, while recalling that the workers of the Justice administration “are the ones who They ensure an essential service for the citizen”.
