Abstract

This paper examines recent case law of the Chilean High Courts of Justice with regard to the right to strike. I analyse international legislation pertaining the right to strike, and the criteria for its effective practice. In particular, I look at the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and the ILO Convention 87, as well as national law, chiefly, the provisions made on that subject in the Political Constitution of the Republic, the Labour Code, and Internal State Security Law. I then examine the shift of paradigm that has taken place within The High Courts of Justice with regard to recent jurisprudence on the right to strike, a change that establishes the extension of this right beyond negotiation procedures and bans ‘internal replacement’, which amounts to a step forward in its treatment as a fundamental right. Finally, I draw a number of conclusions from the changes in the jurisprudence, and discuss the threat that the New Labour Reform poses for workers’ rights.

Keywords:

Right to strike, replacement workers, labour reform, capital-work conflict
