La Ley de Defensa del Artesano y su incidencia en el marco jurídico laboral.

Abstract

In this graduation project we are going to analyzes the violation produced against artisan workers, specifically operators and apprentices, as a result of the Artisan Defense Law; since this law excludes them from the enjoyment of social benefits which are the thirteenth salary, fourteenth salary, and profits. This produces a great degree of discrimination and violation of the rights and principles established in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, such as the principle of equality, the principle of fair remuneration, the principle of progressivity, the principle of favorability, and the principle of the inalienability of rights. The Artisan Defense Law will be analyzed and compared with the Labor Code and the Constitution to demonstrate the violation that this law is producing for all its workers. In particular, the aforementioned constitutional principles will be investigated, and the reason why they are violated by the Artisan Defense Law will be explained.
