1. INTRODUCTION
From a labour perspective, Chile offers a
semi-flexible labour relationship system. Although employment
contracts must comply with minimum regulations in relation to
working hours, remuneration, among others, there are various forms
of contracting that allow the labour relationship to be adapted to
the economic sector in question. Likewise, our labour legislation
tends to labour stability, so terminating an employment agreement
must comply with the causes stablished by law, and in some cases,
entail a year per service severance. Our labour legislation is
protective of the fundamental rights of workers, such as life,
health and integrity, private life, freedom of work and freedom of
association, recognising and regulating labour union activity and
collective bargaining processes. In accordance with an abundant
labour legislation, we have a specialised labour justice system for
these matters.
