Alexander Schneider, a research associate in the Legal Team of the IAAEU, has closely researched the ability of staff representations in public service to invoke constitutional rights. The essay, published in this year’s 4th issue of the magazine “Die Personalvertretung” (PersV 2020, pages 124-135), recognizes through the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights to Art. 34 ECHR the impact of international law on the current interpretation of Art.19 paragraph 3 GG by the Federal Court of Justice. Alexander Schneider comes in his study to the conclusion, that staff representations in public service have a partial ability to invoke rights of the German constitution.
