La huelga: "insuficiencias y avances jurídicos en Colombia frente al Derecho Comparado

Abstract

Throughout time, strikes have undergone an important process of international evolution, arising as a consequence of the workers' struggle for the recognition of their rights in the face of certain employer abuses. Its first events take us to England and France during the 19th century, where they established that a strike was a crime that affected the right to work. This was a consequence of the labor revolution brought about by the industrial revolution that was taking place in the European continent, where measures began to be taken to fight against the abuse of the capitalist economic model that generated a high level of labor exploitation, so that workers began to seek better wages, better conditions, in general, better labor benefits. The right to strike is a recent right that arose, then, as a consequence of the changes in the economic model of the States, where workers began to set precedents worldwide to get employers to recognize different labor rights that they did not have before.
