On precariousness

The right to job security is a structuring principle and its constitutional enshrinement entails the recognition that the right to work has a human dimension, of personal fulfillment and, as such, removes from the arbitrary availability of the employer, not only the free termination of the employment relationship, but also any substantial modification of the content of the employment relationship.

The Decent Work Agenda should not ignore the fact that the strategy to combat precariousness - which has different expressions - benefits from a framework in the constitutional objective of promoting job security, which, not limited to merely combating precarious employment relationships, extends to other aspects of the employment relationship, thereby reinforcing the broader meaning of the concept of precariousness.
