Labor rights of civil servants of the National Civil Police: A socio-legal approach

Abstract

The Police is one of the most demanding jobs, with little chance of forgiveness for errors or omissions committed voluntarily or involuntarily. This does not consider that a police man or woman, like any human being, has family, fraternal, community and economic dimensions. As a public servant who performs sensitive public security duties, he or she must endure citizen diatribes, criminal attacks, and the everlasting exposure of the mass media; Without neglecting a job carried out in strenuous working shifts and in inappropriate working conditions or, at least, not as expected to be granted. This study is intended to contextualize and provide an approximation to the legal and social status of the labor rights of members of the basic level of the National Civil Police, in the area of their individual rights, the statute of collective bargaining (prohibition of Unions) and the prevention of occupational hazards.
