HNK judicial labor dispute

Overview

Judicial employees in the Hercegovačko-neretvanski Canton (HNK) have been engaged in a general strike for over a month. The Justice Union is demanding a 20 percent salary increase for all staff, citing security risks and the sensitive nature of handling confidential data.

Negotiations between the union and the HNK government have reached an impasse. The government has proposed a tiered supplement system, offering 20 percent for assistants and bailiffs, while suggesting 10 percent for office staff and a 10 percent base salary increase for all civil servants starting in 2027. The government maintains that a universal supplement is not legally feasible due to the need for parity with other administrative bodies.

In response to the Ministry of Justice, Administration and Local Self-Government, the Justice Union issued a legal standpoint asserting that the Ministry’s opinions are advisory and non-binding, and cannot be used to determine legal rights or obligations.
