Flexibilization of labor law and its implications on labor relations in PeruThis article discusses the diverse forms of flexibility of labor relations in Peru and analyzes their impact on different types of informality to assess implications of this process in labor relations in Peru. It examinesthese effects taking into consideration information available nationwide in Urban Peru and Metropolitan Lima, for having a historical perspective of the process.It concludes firstly that the informality which is still the main argument for carrying out the flexibilization process didn’t reduce or if it takes in consideration the measurement of informal employment or informal sector of the Peruvian economy. It founds, instead, multiple impacts on the loss of purchasing power of workers in general, affecting fully the functional distribution of income.On the other hand, it notes that the decline process in trade union action has been stopped in recent years and its effectiveness in terms of achieving wage differentials has increased. Recent efforts related to the construction of a decent work agenda and the performance measurement of labor relations policies in this regard it should be reflected in the necessity for early presentation in Congress and approval of the General Labor Law. Finally, it alerts that difficulties for improving working conditions can compromise thevision that people have of democracy and generate political instability.

Flexisecurity, right to work and labor stabilityThis article deals with one of the most recent and innovative proposals of related flexibilization, basically, to the extinction of labor relation and that areknown as «flexisecurity» or «flexicurity». For this, the author comments the model of Denmark – country in which it’s originated «flexisecurity» – emphasizing the configuration of a «golden triangle», composed of: i) flexibility in the labor relation, aimed at facilitating the dismissal ii) a generous system of unemployment benefits, funded primarily by the State and iii) a new policy of «activation» of the labor market, which seeks to keep large sectors of the population permanently trained to meet new labor challenges. The author emphasizes the difference between our country and Denmark, since it is a Welfare State with a high level of social protection funded by a fiscal pressure and high tax rates. Finally, the article notes that for the study of «flexisecurity» it shouldn’t ignore the legal framework derived from workers’ fundamental rights established in the Constitution and international treaties which imply: right to work, dignity and citizenship of the worker and Trade Union Freedom and Collective Rights

Towards a new labor model in SpainThe article starts with confirming the acceleration process in reforms of labor regulations-intensive and extensive-which is faced bySpain that has considered even the reform of constitutional framework. It should be noted that measures taken in the Spanish reform are aimed at increasing the employability of workers and with regard to promotion of employment stability; we find the incorporation of a new contractual modality, literally called “employment contract for indefinite time to support entrepreneurs”.Meanwhile, as the most important novelties are located the following: elimination with general character of administrative authorization for collective dismissals, the expansion of the proper reasons of economic dismissals, with the corresponding reduction effect of the judicial control as justification for business measure and the possible reduction in the practice of dismissal cost, the generalization of compensatory amount for unfair dismissal after 33 days of salary per year of seniority with limit of the 24 monthly salary, the complete suppression of processing salaries when the employer chooses indemnified extinction in case of unfair dismissal, among others. All this range of regulatory changes is analyzed critically by the author who, starting from the Spanish legislation, studies the most relevant legal concepts.

The model of peruvian collective relations: from interventionist and restrictive to promotionalThe article begins by considering a system or democratic model of labor relations implies a significant degree of self-gravitating through the presence of collective autonomy as self-regulation agreed in relations between the representatives of workers and employers. That collides with the fact thatin Latin America, with the exception of Uruguay, the model is remarkably restrictive. Although our country since the Constitutionof 1979 explicitly ascribes to the model of Social State of Law – which in the labor field was expressed in the consecration of a democratic model of labor relations, this has not had correlation with the infra-constitutional regulation.Then, the article presents the main characteristics of a democratic model of labor relations which has as main features: i.–The dialectical conception of labor relations and assignment to the conflict of a functional role within the constitutional scheme, ii.– The consecration of collective autonomy as an essential piece of the regulatory system, iii.– The promotional intervention and feeder system from the state as a notion of closure of exceptional transcendence. Finally, the article points out the principalnovelties on the subject contained in the Project of General Labor Law, the same that is in line within the new Latin American context of impulse of the collective autonomy that exists in countries like Brazil, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and also seeks to promote the gradual substitution of decentralized and dysfunctional model for the functioning of the country, establishing a certain preference for the sectorial bargaining.

The protection against dismissal in the evolution of the Constitutional Court jurisprudenceThis paper is based on the analysis of the job security schemes embodied in the Constitutions of 1979 and 1993, so as to point out the evolution of the protection granted by the constitutional system against unlawful dismissal and the legal application thereof to the models of restitutory protection (reinstatement) or compensatory protection (indemnification). Then, an analysis is made with respect to the options covered in this field by the international treaties executed by Peru and the evolution of different constitutional case law. Thus, judgments in which restitutory protection was initially oriented to outlaw the dismissal that violates fundamental rights are examined, in comparison to recent rulings in which such protection is granted against unlawful dismissal, resulting in a labor stability model different from the one set forth by the 1993 Constitution.

The resizing of International Labor LawThe transformations brought about by the globalization of the labour world render insufficient the national efforts to face a cross-boundaries phenomenon. Similarly, the International Labour Organization efforts are praiseworthy but incomplete because its Members are reluctant to new international commitments. In this situation, labour human rights are in the best position to face the challenges of globalization.

The reform of the labor process in Uruguay. The return to the autonomous labor processThe reform of the Uruguayan labor process and the return to an autonomous legal regime represent a radical and fundamental change in the national legislation. The simplicity of new procedural structures governed by principles and owns norms of labor discipline give the new regime a dogmatic autonomous space lost for many years. The procedural labor reform is built on the adjectival character of its nature prioritizing the substantive law and adjusting the procedural rule to its characteristics. The principles of Labor Law (substantive and procedural) are the foundation of the new regime
