Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The investigation into the motivation behind the ruling in case No. 17204-2025-00230 analyzes the protective action filed by three former employees of the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES) in Quito, belonging to priority groups protected by our Constitution, such as: a pregnant woman, a person with a catastrophic illness, and a substitute worker for a person with a disability. The general objective was to determine whether the termination of their contracts violated constitutional rights, particularly reinforced job security, equality, health, and priority attention. The sample focused on judicial case No. 17204-2025-00230, applying the deductive and legal-dogmatic methods, with qualitative techniques of documentary analysis and jurisprudential review as the main instruments. The results showed that the MIES violated the constitutional framework by dismissing the plaintiffs without considering their vulnerable status or applying protective measures. It was concluded that the dismissal was unconstitutional, and therefore their reinstatement, payment of wages, and a public apology were ordered. The study reaffirms the importance of guaranteeing enhanced job security as an effective protection mechanism for all fundamental rights.
