Resum

A few days before the repeal of art. 52 d) ET, the STSJ of Catalonia was issued on January 17, 2020, which, revoking the judgment issued in instance, concluded that said precept was contrary to different international standards, in particular, to art. 6.1 of Convention no. 158 ILO, on the termination of the employment relationship, to arts. 4.1 and 5 of Convention no. 155 ILO, on safety and health of workers, to art. 3 of the European Social Charter and, finally, to art. 11 Convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, made in New York on December 18, 1979 and, therefore, was not applicable to the alleged defendant.  The subsequent STS of March 29, 2022, however, has come to marry the aforementioned STSJ of Catalonia of January 17, 2020, allowing, once again, that the old cause of dismissal due to absenteeism of the worker provided for in art. 52 d) ET has emerged unscathed from this attack. This study analyzes the arguments invoked by the STSJ of Catalonia on January 17, 2020 to disapply art. 52 d) ET, as well as those who have led the Supreme Court to nullify said resolution.
Pocos días antes de la derogación del art. 52 d) ET, se dictó la STSJ de Cataluña de 17 de enero de 2020, la cual, revocando la sentencia dictada en instancia, concluía que dicho precepto era contrario a diferentes normas internacionales, en particular, al art. 6.1 del Convenio núm. 158 OIT, sobre la terminación de la relación de trabajo, a los arts. 4.1 y 5 del Convenio núm. 155 OIT, sobre seguridad y salud de los trabajadores, al art. 3 de la Carta Social Europea y, finalmente, al art. 11 Convención sobre la eliminación de todas las formas de discriminación contra la mujer, hecha en Nueva York el 18 de diciembre de 1979 y, por tanto, no resultaba de aplicación al supuesto enjuiciado.  La posterior STS de 29 de marzo de 2022, sin embargo, ha venido a casar la referida STSJ de Cataluña de 17 de enero de 2020, permitiendo, una vez más, que la antigua causa de despido por absentismo del trabajador prevista en el art. 52 d) ET haya salido indemne de este embate jurídico.  En este estudio se analizan los argumentos invocados por la STSJ de Cataluña de 17 de enero de 2020 para inaplicar el art. 52 d) ET, así como aquellos que han llevado al Tribunal Supremo a casar dicha resolución.
