Supreme Court dismisses teachers' claim that budget salary index creates individual wage rights.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiffs' lawsuit seeking wage differences based on a statutory average salary index for the budget sector. The lower courts initially ruled in favor of the teachers, arguing that Article 6 of the 1989 Act created enforceable rights despite subsequent constitutional unconstitutionality of related provisions. The Supreme Court rejected this, holding that the 'average salary indicator' is merely a normative reference for the entire sector and cannot serve as a basis for individual wage claims or automatic increases.
