The Judiciary Union will decide if its employees will enter a full strike today. While the union, which has been striking for ten days, expects a decision to be taken today to stop all work in the judiciary, the government is calling on the strikers to accept the social program offered to them. Judiciary mulls continuing strike Union President Slavica Zivanovic told B92 that at today's meeting, the union would more than likely decide to halt all work in the judiciary. “I believe that the council members will want to radicalize the protest by stopping work on all cases. We expect them to offer new talks, but we will only agree to serious and decent talks,” she said. Zivanovic added that the union had offered the government a compromise until the 2008 budget, with bonuses being paid to all court employees. Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic called on all union members to accept the social program offered, adding that a 100 percent wage increase was not possible and would not be discussed. “According to World Bank and EU standards, we have twice as many people in the judiciary than necessary. People who work for the state will not live any worse than they do now, but what I do expect is for the economy to improve, for our foreign trade deficit to fall, otherwise we’ll all be doomed. We won’t let this happen, even at the expense of a strike,” Djelic said. At the meeting between union members and government officials on Monday, the government said that 2000 judiciary employees needed to be made redundant, while the remainder would receive wage increases of 30 percent.
