The constitutional guarantees of the fundamental right to work

Abstract

Legal labor relations, as social relations, are relations with a multidimensional institutional character, being regulated by not only the branch of labor law or by civil law and other branches, as important social relations for the socialization and sustenance of man, being part of the fundamental ones. Labor relations are also constitutional, being part of the Constitution and thus becoming supreme. The right to work, essential for the development of the rule of law, imposes constitutional guarantees of a public control of the protective regulations, the basis constituting the supremacy of the constitution. Constitutional protection was guaranteed by 33 decisions adopted by the Constitutional Court since the establishment of constitutionality control. The constitutional guarantees for the protection of the right to work have been ensured from simple employees, through the control of the constitutionality of the norms regarding the minimum and average salary in the economy, up to the working conditions of employees who hold the positions of deputies in the Parliament.
