Historical Analysis of the 2012 Labor Reform

Abstract

The first labor rights were given at the beginning of the 20th century, and it was not until the 1917 Constitution with article 123 that they were elevated to constitutional rank. In 1931 the first Federal Labor Law was issued, which as an imperfect precedent responded to the concerns of that time. Subsequently, the 1970 Law issued after the events of 1968, includes a series of benefits for workers, then the 1980 reforms in its procedural part that establishes the principles of Labor Law, the economy, concentration and simplicity of the process are pondered. The 2012 Reforms did not satisfy either employers or workers and to date no result has been seen.
