The text examines the relationship between the general principles of law and the particular principles of labor law, highlighting their role as foundations of the legal system. It is recognized that general principles, divided into different levels, are conceived as the backbone of the rules, while labor principles, such as the protective principle, the most favorable rule and the most beneficial condition, are designed to mitigate the inequality inherent in the labor relationship between employer and employee. In addition, it is emphasized that labor principles acquire great prevalence in cases of normative conflict within this area, prioritizing the protection of workers' rights, even in the face of hierarchically superior provisions. The author also emphasizes that the principles are not only interpretative tools, but dynamic reflections of values and social consensus, such as labor stability, which has evolved to become consolidated as a constitutional right in Peru. This approach highlights the living and adaptable nature of the law in the face of social transformations.
