Case No 2614 (Argentina) - Complaint date: 06-NOV-07 - Closed

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 27. The Committee examined this case at its November 2010 meeting and on that occasion requested the Government to send its observations with regard to the communication from the Trade Union of Judicial Workers of Corrientes (SITRAJ) alleging that the authorities of the High Court of Justice of the Province of Corrientes had suspended one of the check-off codes (deductions for a refundable assistance fund) that was applicable to members and that deductions of union dues were made two months late, and also requested the Government to send its observations concerning information recently communicated by the Argentine Judicial Federation (FJA) (the FJA had objected to the transfer of the general secretary of the Association of Judicial Workers of La Rioja, Mr Horacio Rodolfo Juárez, from his post) [see 358th Report, paras 25–27].
2. 28. In a communication dated 7 February 2011, the Government states with regard to the allegations presented by the SITRAJ that the High Court of Justice of the Province of Corrientes informed it that the deductions of union dues and membership contributions to the mutual fund were still being made, and that the only deductions that had been discontinued were those for mutual fund loans, which slightly affects the principles of freedom of association.
3. 29. The Committee takes note of this information and requests the Government to send its observations without delay concerning the information communicated by the FJA relating to the transfer of the general secretary of the Association of Judicial Workers of La Rioja, Mr Horacio Rodolfo Juárez, from his post.
