Class Labour Law

The curricular unit of Labor Law covers a multiplicity of other areas of law ranging from community, constitutional, civil law. In addition to the multidisciplinary approach that this branch of law presupposes, the understanding of its historical evolution and its connection to public employment policies and options, among others, are decisive to understand and apprehend the juslaboral reality at a given moment. Labor law is a branch of law that regulates subordinate labor relations, easing the relationship between worker and employer from the pre-contractual stage until termination.
