THE RIGHTS OF CROSS-BORDER WORKERS: SOCIOECONOMIC AND LEGAL REALITY ON THE ECUADORIAN BORDER

2022 , Montenegro de la Cruz C.R. , Molina Torres, María Victoria

Workers who work in the territory of one Member State and reside in the territory of another Member State, to which they return every day, or at least once a week, are known as cross-border workers. But this way of working also has its drawbacks. The situation can be complex for both the worker and the employer. For the worker, these are inconveniences that can lead to divorce, estrangement, expenses, etc. For companies, the inconveniences include controlling travel expenses, complying with immigration laws, ensuring social security and reaching an agreement with the employee on the days to be spent at work and at home. The objective of this research is to analyze the judicial competence and the principle of effective judicial protection to protect and guarantee the rights of cross-border dependent and self-employed workers. When there are labor disputes between the employer and the workers, which border country is responsible for regularizing these rights? The methodology applied was a qualitative approach, using inductive methods, case studies and the technique used was that of interpretation of the law. © 2022, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.
