Abstract

Chile's recent Labor Reform, tried to definitely eliminate the employer’s possibility of replacing striking workers during collective bargaining. However, during the drafting of the law, a presidential instruction was introduced to nuance the extent of that restriction; this makes it essential to determine the argument that shaped the History of the Law. Thus, begins the interpretation of this norm and will guide the jurisprudence that, doubtlessly, will play a main role in its application and compliance with national and international standards in Freedom of Association.
