Competition Law as a Necessary Tool for the Protection of Labor Markets

Abstract

This article analyzes the role that competition law can play in the protection of labor markets in Colombia. The general objective was to determine how free competition rules can be applied to prevent practices that negatively affect workers, such as anti-competitive agreements between employers. To achieve this purpose, a theoretical and normative study is carried out, which examines competition law from its constitutional conception, its legal framework and its possible relationship with labor law, also addressing the most relevant pronouncements of the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC).
