Judicial staff strike for higher wages enters second day

Tuesday marks the second day of a three-day strike by judicial staff over low wages. While most court buildings remain open, services for the public, such as filing offices, information centers, and phone lines, are limited. Some scheduled hearings are also postponed due to the absence of recording clerks, with participants informed in advance. The strike involves all general courts across the Czech Republic. While judges themselves cannot legally strike, they support the protesting staff. According to the Justice Union, 90% of district court employees and 65% of higher court employees are participating.
