Inappropriate or Unlawful Strikes. Are they Strikes?

Abstract

The constitutional right to strike in Peru is developed by a very strict policy that determines the origin of the measure to a view of the administrative labor authority that may be issued in two instances. However, there are rules that allow understand the existence of the strike despite not having the decision of that authority as they prevent the employer to freely exercise its disciplinary powers to an improper or illegal paralysis. With regard to recent decisions of the labor inspection, this article analyzes this situation and seeks to present some solutions consistent with the essential content of this constitutional right.
