Alcances y limitaciones regulatorias ante la precarización global del trabajo

Abstract

This paper seeks to problematize the openings and limitations of different labor regulatory initiatives in the contemporary world. Such initiatives show collisions with a series of formal aspects - such as coercive restrictions - and factual ones - such as lobbying - that reduce its effectiveness. For this purpose, some theoretical and practical background issues on labor regulation are reviewed. The conclusions point to the need ― and opportunity― to explore some resolution alternatives, such as the defense of the strike, the promotion and introduction of the universal basic income, and workers’ control of production.
