Abstract
This article is a critical reflection on the commodification of the right to work and the domestication of labor law. The author presents his defense in relation to the right to stable employment and stability as a right and as a symbol. According to his view, the lack of job stability is a trap that reflects an impregnated modernity of an obvious abuse of temporary work contracts. Three main functional reasons are discussed because they have led stability to acquired centrality in modern political and academic debate. The author concludes that the development of the transnational dimension of companies has reduced the centrality and effectiveness of the State in dispensing positive working relationships. This has resulted in a revaluation of the company as an independent entity of creating its own rules and as a virtually free space of any control by the state. Context in which labor law is reduce to employment law, where the protection of the weakest subjects in the contractual relationship becomes secondary.Copyright Notice:
