Abstract

The emergence of a global market has forced companies to improve their competitiveness to survive. Following this premise, labor law has done several legal changes in order to achieve this goal. However, this essay argues that these reforms gradually have deeply devaluated labor protection standards and are probably describing an unfinished transition towards a new paradigm of labor relations.
La emergencia de un mercado global ha empujado a las empresas a la búsqueda de una mejora en su competitividad para poder sobrevenir. El Legislador laboral ha asumido esta premisa y desde hace décadas ha encadenado sucesivas reformas legislativas dirigidas a este objetivo. No obstante, en este ensayo se sostiene que estos cambios se han traducido en una devaluación progresiva de los estándares de protección y probablemente estén describiendo un tránsito inacabado hacia un nuevo paradigma de las relaciones de trabajo.
