Constitutional provisions ensuring fundamental entitlements for all workers, including fair remuneration, non-discrimination, and conditions conducive to personal fulfillment and work-life balance.
Definition
Detailed primarily in Article 59 of the Constitution, Workers' Rights encompass a broad spectrum of entitlements for every individual engaged in labor, irrespective of their personal characteristics such as age, sex, race, or political convictions. These rights include the fundamental right to work, the right to fair remuneration, the right to work organized under conditions of social dignity, and the right to reconcile work with family life. These provisions serve as the constitutional foundation for all labor legislation in Portugal, ensuring comprehensive protection and promotion of workers' welfare and dignity.
