Abstract

For many years in Panama and until now little or nothing has been discussed and the protection of the effectiveness of the fundamental rights of non-specific workers who do not have procedural protection such as: rights to life, physical and mental integrity, honor, inviolability of private communications, freedom of conscience, freedom of opinion, free choice, dignity among others that are not observed or protected during the validity of the employment contract caused by the lack of competition that rests on Law 59 of 2001 that does not allow to activate the observance and protection of the fundamental rights of workers through short, simple procedures and with support from the State. The general objective is to design a procedure for labor protection of fundamental worker rights in the labor code of Panama with support from the State. Our specific objectives are to determine whether there is a process to protect the fundamental rights of workers in Panama and to recommend a procedure applicable based on new powers for labor judges and the Ministry of Labor in specific constitutional guarantees for the observance and protection of the fundamental rights of workers. The applied methodology consists of research with a qualitative approach and a hermeneutical approach in which we apply the exegetical method, documentary method and comparative law method in which a criticism is made of the procedural regulatory insufficiency on fundamental workers' rights. The results show that in Panama there is no process to protect fundamental rights of workers' rights. The need for a regulatory structure dedicated to designing a procedure for labor protection of fundamental workers' rights that involves the Ministry of Labor, and the Judicial System is concluded as Lege Ferenda.
