SANDOVAL QUINTERO, Hernán  and  DELACRUZ GIRALDO, Gustavo Nixon. Constitutional Principles of Administrative Labor Law in the Colombian Legal System. Prolegómenos [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.44, pp.11-34. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.3101.

This analysis intends to offer a clear and understandable explanation of the constitutional principles of administrative labor law. For this, it is relevant to identify each doctrinal and case-law principle, as they allow establishing truly differentiating categories when they are correlated and placed within labor law, understood as a social obligation. Most experts have restricted themselves to considering this law based on the principles of labor administrative law, together with public law, and not as a part of labor law. This conception is administrativist and ignores the work environment surrounding the framework of economic coordination and social balance that makes it possible to understand that the state is the largest employer at present. As such, the state should guarantee the rights contained in the Constitution as social and democratic rule of law.

Keywords : Constitutional principles; civil servants; public employees; decent work; labor law.
