This text analyses the implications of the amendments introduced by the new Code of Constitutional Procedure in relation to the constitutional process of amparo and its impact on the protection of labour rights. The enactment of Law No. 28237, which establishes this new body of law, marks a notable difference by leaving behind the alternative nature of the amparo to give it a residual character. This fact has raised questions about the procedural route to be followed when a constitutionally protected labour right is affected, such as freedom of work, the right to work or the right to job stability. For this reason, the author provides guidelines and criteria to identify the circumstances under which these labour rights can be considered threatened. To that extent, clarity is offered to both legal professionals and persons affected by possible violations of their labour rights, thus facilitating an effective interpretation of the new Constitutional Procedural Code.
