Summon ADEDY

For its part, ADEDY, which initially announced a suspension of work on March 8, finally decided on a 24-hour strike.

Detailed ADEDY Strike Announcement:

The General Council of ADEDY, at its meeting on March 2, 2023, decided to take all necessary actions to demand and achieve the repeal of the provisions of Law 4940/2022 regarding “reactive” targeting and “assessment” for employees of public services of ministries, municipalities, regions, FECA and other entities the public sector and the annulment of their application, namely:

Declaring a “strike-abstention” for all involved employees and managers in all procedures and all stages, as provided for by Law 4940/2022, starting from the 2023 assessment period.

Bringing information materials to all interested trade unions and workers.

Promotion of all necessary actions to achieve the goal of repealing the said provisions of Law 4940/2022 and repealing their application.

The General Council of ADEDY considers “intersectional reforms” to be preachy, the implementation of which will lead to “improvement of the work of public services and bodies” (Article 1) and to the rewarding of “productive”! !! of civil servants with bonuses is false, since the “new” assessment also remains reactive and a mechanism aimed at “disintegration”, at manipulating and subordinating civil servants while inexorably facilitating the implementation of the relevant state policy (Article 23) .

Linking valuation directly to wage growth and the degree of achievement of goals promoted through the so-called “incentive and reward system” will lead to a decrease in wages and pensions, the development of likes, while opening the way for intensification of work when workers are silent and afraid.

At the same time, although all “links” contribute to the end result of the service, the application of this rule (Article 23) deliberately overlooks it, leading to selective distribution.

Through a labyrinth system with subjective and immeasurable criteria, overcoming the tragic understaffing of services and lack of equipment and funds, with regulations that shift duties that do not belong to them to managers and employees and are punitive in nature (Article 10 part 2, art. 12 part 2, articles 14 and 15), the valuation being promoted has nothing to do with the demand for contemporary and poetic services that will satisfy the needs of the people.
