Protección laboral del funcionario a cargo de una persona con discapacidad según la jurisprudencia constitucional

Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on the analysis of several judgments of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, whose main purpose is focused on the protection and safeguarding of enhanced job stability for officials who are in charge of a person with a disability. This extraordinary and particular condition with respect to the worker in the public sector, is relevant because of the double vision of the Constitutional Court, to protect other rights around the main violation of the Right to Work. The sentence on which the jurisprudential line is analyzed is No. 2126-19-EP/24, issued on April 25, 2024. The judgment deals exclusively with the Reinforced labor protection of substitute workers with provisional appointment . The paper concludes with the argument made by the Constitutional Court itself, which conceives a reinforced labor stability for the civil servant, despite his temporary employment relationship with the public institution, when his condition is that of substitute worker in charge of a person with disability.
