Public sector’s staff evaluation will be placed under the Council of State to rule, as Greek public employees’ union federation ADEDY and other public sector unions have announced that they’ll recourse to Greece’s Supreme Administrative Court to contest the extension of evaluation measures.  Considering the measures as illegal and unconstitutional, the unions will ask the Court to cancel the decisions of Minister of Administrative Reform Kyriakos Mitsotakis to extend evaluation beyond public employees to personnel of local authorities and the broader public-sector organizations.

The unions’ main opposition lays on the argument that the particular ministerial decisions were issued as a circular and as such not published in the government gazette, making them groundless. In addition, they violate a series of constitutional articles.
