Representatives of the judiciary workers clung to their proposal to reform the pension system.
This was made clear at the hearing granted by the Special Committee on Pension Regimes of the Legislative Assembly, following a consultation made by Sandra Piszk, from the National Liberation Party (PLN).
The legislator asked if they would be willing to support an alternative text, other than the one from the groups or the Superintendence of Pensions (SUPEN).
However, the union representatives recalled that they had insisted on maintaining the text they presented as the basis of the discussion, although they stated that they were open to negotiating with legislators.
Adriana Orocú, from the Costa Rican Judicial Association (ACOJUD), argued that the text discussed by congressmen contains unfeasible proposals.
The leaders of judicial employees insisted on questioning the recommendations made by the actuarial study of the UCR for the pension reform of the Judiciary.
According to union representatives, the UCR report has inconsistencies and they do not agree with setting the age of retirement at 65.
Although they insisted on negotiating, lawmakers like Johnny Leiva of the Christian Social Unity Party (PUSC) said that would not be possible until pressure was lifted.
