The interpretation of the non-discrimination clause in the social rights of work and social security in the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice

Abstract

 Labor jurisprudence is extensive and for decades labor rights were gaining greater presence in labor courts in Mexico. Since the 2011 reform, the application of the so-called non-discrimination clause built a jurisprudence line that over time is reflected in the judgments of the highest court in Mexico. Those judgments take an interpretative turn in respect of that clause. In this sense, the presentation aims to analyze the decisions of the judges of the highest Mexican court in some cases that have directly applied article 1st constitutional to protect social rights as autonomous rights derived from this provision
