Principle of Progressiveness in Labor Administrative Matters

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on the Principle of Progressivity in contentious-administrative law, specifically in administrative labor law. Initially, a theoretical foundation of the concept of progressivity is presented according to some scholars of fundamental rights. Later, the position assumed by the Colombian Constitutional Court regarding progressivity and regression is addressed. Third, the principle of justice in relation to progressiveness in the law is discussed, and finally, the role of the contentious judge in certain cases is briefly examined.
