El principio de igualdad y no discriminación en las relaciones laborales: perspectiva constitucional reciente

Abstract

This paper exams, briefly and descriptive, the Constitutional Court's doctrine on the principle of equality and nondiscrimination in employment relations. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the position of this Court concerning the dismissal of pregnant women when the employer doesn't know that fact, sexual harassment, positive actions and family leaves. The paper also studies the writ of amparo, a remedy for the protection of these rights at the Constitutional Court.
