El proceso del despido colectivo. Análisis de su régimen jurídico tras la reforma laboral de 2012 y del efecto de la crisis económica en el mercado de trabajo

La institució de l'acomiadament col·lectiu s'ha vist afectada per la reforma operada pel Reial Decret-llei 3/2012, de 10 de febrer, i la seva posterior convalidació com a Llei 3/2012, de 6 de juliol, de mesures urgents per a la reforma del mercat laboral. Els nombrosos pronunciaments i interpretacions proposades per diferents sectors judicials i doctrinals han convertit la regulació legal i reglamentària dels procediments d'acomiadament col·lectiu en un focus d'especial interès, sobretot tenint en compte la profunda crisi econòmica per la qual travessa Espanya. A causa d'això, podem assentar que gran part dels impediments al creixement de l'economia espanyola eren conseqüència de les febleses que mostrava el model laboral. És per aquest motiu que en el present treball ens dediquem a estudiar les diverses modificacions normatives dels expedients de regulació d'ocupació, prestant especial atenció als aspectes relatius a l'eliminació de la tradicional autorització administrativa (excepte pels casos de força major), a la significativa reconfiguració de les causes econòmiques, tècniques, organitzatives i productives que justifiquen l'extinció dels contractes de treball, al període de consultes, a la informació a facilitar als representants dels treballadors en el propi, a les actuacions de l'Autoritat Laboral per vetllar per la seva efectivitat del període de consultes podent realitzar funcions d'advertiment, recomanació i assistència a les parts, al renovat contingut de l'informe de la Inspecció de Treball i Seguretat Social, als plans de recol·locació i a les mesures d'acompanyament social assumides per l'empresari, entre d’altres. En definitiva, mitjançant el treball realitzat a continuació podem endinsar-nos a aquesta qüestió de forma més profunda i composar així un anàlisis extens sobre la reforma efectuada en 2012 en matèria d'acomiadaments col·lectius.

Job loss among immigrant and native workers: evidence from Spain's economic downturn

The profound crisis that has affected the Spanish economy since mid - 2008 has been characterized by significant job losses and a marked rise in the country´s unemployment rate. However, unemployment has had a differential impact on different population groups. Compared to native, immigrant workers have experienced higher rates of job loss. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the differences between immigrants and natives (distinguished by gender) in terms of their probability of suffering job loss in the downturn of late 2008 and 2009. Our results indicate that the higher rate of job loss among female immigrant workers can be fully explained by their lower endowment of human capital. By contrast, human capital endowment and over-representation in certain occupations, sectors and regions in which the crisis had greatest impact do not appear to be the only reason for the penalty suffered by immigrant males in terms of their chances of losing their job in the downturn.

On-line teaching and Copyright : Any Hopes for an EU Harmonized Playground?

Education never fails to be mentioned ¿ and, often, mentioned first ¿ as a public interest that justifies an exception to copyright. Educational purposes were already present in the first version of the Berne Convention of 18862 and have remained there (although in revised language) ever since. The WIPO Copyright Treaty of 19963 expressly referred to education in its Preamble, when ¿Recognizing the need to maintain a balance between the rights of authors andthe larger public interest, particularly education, research and access to information, as reflected in the Berne Convention¿ (emphasis added). And morerecently, the EU Directive on Copyright in the Information Society4 stressed its goal ¿to promote learning and culture by protecting works and other subjectmatter while permitting exceptions or limitations in the public interest for the purpose of education and teaching¿ (Recital 14, emphasis added).

Prescription in the proposal for a common european sales law

The rules on prescription in Part VIII, Chapter 18, of the Proposal for a Common European Sales Law (CESL) follow the provisions of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) and the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), which, in general, have deserved favourable comments. Yet, a number of rules contained in those texts have been omitted. It is necessary to ascertain whether the CESL rules only apply to provisions on rights and claims resulting from sales or related services contracts, or whether they are also applicable to any other contractual right or claim and also to rights or claims of non-contractual origin. One of the most problematic issues concerns general prescription periods: firstly, because there are two general periods, a short one and a long one, without any specification about the claims or rights covered by each one of them; secondly, because neither period is suitable in case of non-conformity. There are also some interpretation problems due to missing, ambiguous or defective definitions. The systematic approach demands clarification too.

Por un espacio público no estatal. Contra la hegemonía neoliberal y el declive el de la democracia.

Este artículo plantea la necesidad de crear un espacio público no estatal para defender el bien común en las democracias occidentales. La importante crisis de los partidos políticos y de las instituciones representativas exige la creación de nuevas instituciones desde la sociedad civil que tengan como principal fin la defensa del 'bien común'. La participación de los ciudadanos que formen parte de estas instituciones deberá estar regida por los principios del voluntarismo, la transparencia y el compromiso cívico. En la primera sección se realiza una breve descripción de las políticas que están poniendo hoy en cuestión el Estado de derecho y la democracia en los países occidentales: el neoliberalismo y el autoritarismo. En la segunda parte, se abordan los límites que presentan las teorías neoconstitucionalistas y del garantismo frente a la actual deriva autoritaria y neoliberal de las instituciones estatales. El texto concluye reivindicando la elaboración de una nueva antropología de la democracia que abra la puerta a la construcción de este nuevo espacio público independiente de las instituciones del actual modelo de Estado de derecho.

Profile, cost and pattern of prescriptions for polymedicated patients in Catalonia, Spain

OBJECTIVES: Polypharmacy is one of the main management issues in public health policies because of its financial impact and the increasing number of people involved. The polymedicated population according to their demographic and therapeutic profile and the cost for the public healthcare system were characterised. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Primary healthcare in Barcelona Health Region, Catalonia, Spain (5 105 551 inhabitants registered). PARTICIPANTS: All insured polymedicated patients. Polymedicated patients were those with a consumption of ≥16 drugs/month. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: The study variables were related to age, gender and medication intake obtained from the 2008 census and records of prescriptions dispensed in pharmacies and charged to the public health system. RESULTS: There were 36 880 polymedicated patients (women: 64.2%; average age: 74.5±10.9 years). The total number of prescriptions billed in 2008 was 2 266 830 (2 272 920 total package units). The most polymedicated group (up to 40% of the total prescriptions) was patients between 75 and 84 years old. The average number of prescriptions billed monthly per patient was 32±2, with an average cost of 452.7±27.5. The total cost of those prescriptions corresponded to 2% of the drug expenditure in Catalonia. The groups N, C, A, R and M represented 71.4% of the total number of drug package units dispensed to polymedicated patients. Great variability was found between the medication profiles of men and women, and between age groups; greater discrepancies were found in paediatric patients (5-14 years) and the elderly (≥65 years). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides essential information to take steps towards rational drug use and a structured approach in the polymedicated population in primary healthcare.
